Paullow Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) I quite like him. He's been here exactly 7 years now, so a significant chunk of his career. Stayed with us in the Championship unlike Townsend (although may not have had a similar release clause), was a big part of that season and returning back to the PL immediately. Played over 200 games for us, and chipped in with some very important goals, most notably that winning goal against Leeds last January. I'll remember him well, and it is a little bit of a shame with all his 'we're going to be massive' 'want to be part of this' talk, but the injury clearly hasn't helped the situation from his perspective and we've probably moved on too quickly, and beyond him, and not worth triggering the clause if someone is happy to take him off our hands, and free us of those hefty wages. We can, and almost certainly will be upgraded, as will be the case for many players going forward, so the right time to go, but I'll certainly wish him well, and remember him in a good light.

Don’t think we can rely on his aging frame to hold up. He’s been playing regularly since 16 at Charlton and Football’s equivalent of Father Time is heading his way with his scythe. Also he’s missed way more than 11 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fair point, the trigger is apparently 2 more games and we could easily do that Still, I feel they hold all the aces as they could get a midfielder elsewhere whereas by extending we are stuck with his wages Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Even if he was our mast midfielder on the books, if £10m came in for him he'd be gone. Not chance it's happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s near £10m tbh, I mean is the average 6 month loan fee not near half that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
