The debate/issue for me is not how good he can be or what he can bring to the team hes down to a couple of years on his contract so the debate is for me is he worth a new 3 or 5 year deal with the wage bump that will likely come with it. Especially when you factor in the actual availability hes offered the last 2 years. If your going to commit we have to be sure we can get 40+ appearances from him a season and right now these niggles and recovery periods seem to stack up. I dont think we can afford to carry someone on 100k plus a week to be in and out of the team. Especially when you factor in kraft, Trips, schar,lascelles and Burn likely to go in the next 6 to 24 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many player's of Botman's qualities are available in the market, whatever we'll pay for a replacement will be much more than what we will pay for his renewal. Our medical team fucked up by allowing him to play with an ACL, it has really set him back and caused him problems but on his day there aren't many better defenders.

Its the gamble/ risk vs reward the club will have to weigh up though. No point say putting him on 100k or 120k a week 5 year deal and him spend half or more on the treatment table. The club can't afford to "carry" a player who cant stay fit. We are moving into a next phase of the back line with the keeper situation very much unresolved and older players likely moving on. I would like to build around sven and thiaw but to do that has got to be available. I also think it would be madness to not tie him down so he cant leave for nowt but thats why if hes not signed and extension come the summer or the club haven't seen a run of fixtures of him fit and performing I wouldn't be opposes to seeing if there us a buyer for him.
