He's going to be fifth choice CB. That's absolutely fine for another year. He's not Paul Dummett ffs. 

I brought Dummett and Ritchie up as rumour was howe wanted them to stay the loyalty is lovely but sentiment means you never let people go and evolve and develop as a side.

 

Great 40k spanked on the wall to be emergency backup 5th choice rather let him go and get someone young and up and coming with no pressure to start the back line is aging out badly. 

 

We are going to have to bite the bullet eventually kraft, BDB and Schar are already staying that's enough of the older lot sticking around for me.

He obviously brings a lot to the table off the pitch. If we're heading into a period of transition where the older leadership team are being binned off (Wilson, Trippier and eventually Burn), you probably want to do it at a gradual pace so you don't fuck the very good dressing room balance that Howe has built.

I don't think that's fair I don't need reminding the leadership group has done things to drive the culture change from the "just go out and play lads" approach. However we need to eventually move on 40/50k sitting on the sidelines clapping is not healthy for the club who need to progress. He's played his part from the treatment table but if we can't keep standards up with full internationals in the side then I would be worried at this stage. 

 

Getting Europe this season should be a call to push on and progress not keep Gillespie, Jamaal and such a cushy extension with the justification to keep the group together.
