Fuck knows what happens next season with him and Burn. I suppose Botman is going to take pretty much all of preseason to get back to full fitness but the first game of the season will be interesting to see who starts.

I would assume Botman. Might depend on who the club buys on the right? Have to think they're looking for someone to partner with Botman long term.

It’s good to have the option, but with how good Burn has been this season I’d give Botman a full season this time before hoying him back in, unless in case of an emergency.

Would give him 20 minutes here and there, just to give him the mental boost. He's fighting hard to get fit to play, not to sit on the bench. He'll want to get some minutes for his own sake. Not the back to back 90's.

Was very good the little time he got to play this season. Get fit and up and running and he’s one of the best in the league.

This late in the season, unless one of the CBs gets injured. I would just write this season off for him let him fully recover and come back fresh in pre season.

100% 

No need at all to risk him

Wonder if he makes the bench for the Ipswich game.


Probably just a good news soundbite to deflect from Howe being ill I’d imagine. 
 

Would be good to have him for Arsenal away and go 5 at back again. Villa and do the same would also be amazing.

I hope he’s been watching how aggressively Burn plays, and how proactive he is with his defending high up the pitch. It’s fundamental to how we want to play and Botman needs to add it to his game.

Have you seen him play mate? Botman does that all the time

This is a whoosh right? Botman practically set the blueprint to Burn how it should be done and does it infinitely better, or at least did before all the injuries. 

I think this is a welcome boost if he is truly fit and ready to play. Burn to me has looked pretty worn out last few games and Schar pulled up it looked like towards the end of the man u game, so if we can give them a few minutes rest here and there in this run-in, I think that will be helpful .

Sorry but we can’t consider his feelings now. Stays on the bench during the run-in unless we already got the game in the bag for me.

Why would you demotivate one of your best players?

 

If he’s genuinely fit, there’s not a good reason to not get him involved in playing in some capacity. It’s good for him physically.  
 

This isn’t a video game.  If he’s been busting a gut through rehab to get fit. Let him play.  He shouldn’t be overloaded obviously and it should be taken carefully.
