Depth so that when our starting CB gets injured, we have another one barely a pass away from pulling a muscle and being injured as well. Brilliant squad planning.Don't extend his contract but keep him for depth. Another CB is more than likely on the list for the summer.
He is still good enough to be part of the squad and see out his contract. His days are over being regularDepth so that when our starting CB gets injured, we have another one barely a pass away from pulling a muscle and being injured as well. Brilliant squad planning.

Cant be trusted. Great defender but his body isnt a top athlete unfortunately. Sell him.

What is the value in that, he becomes a backup CB that can't be relied upon whilst his contract runs out and hes played 5mins in his last season and taken millions more in wages. Its pointless.He is still good enough to be part of the squad. His days are over being regular.
The reality is that unless we can somehow get Saudi interested, hes staying but its really not doing anyone any favors.
He has earnt it. Same with Walker but he has decided to move on earlier than planned.What is the value in that, he becomes a backup CB that can't be relied upon whilst his contract runs out and hes played 5mins in his last season and taken millions more in wages. Its pointless.

So we become a retirement home, brilliant.He has earnt it.
Just like our neighbours down the road, keeping patched up players on the wage bill clinging to the hope they can come back and give us a flash of their abilities.
It is only one more season ffs.So we become a retirement home, brilliant.

How has he earned it??He has earnt it. Same with Walker but he has decided to move on earlier than planned.
For starters his equaliser in the game against Arsenal for starters and the last minute winner vs Wolves. I'll leave you two to crack on as it seem you are on the wind upHow has he earned it??

Just saw him go down and went for a drink, knowing it was going to be a few. Didn’t see where they were looking at him. Something went and he knew it straight away.Looked more like groin I thought - didn't see them checking the knee at all
I’ve always felt he was susceptible to groin injuries because of his mechanics in always opening himself up for the right instep pass, even the 30 yarders.

Are you fck joking? He’s made of glass. Just sell him and let him get fit wherever he’s going. Brilliant player when he plays. Unfortunately very rare and therefore not good enough. Harsh but reality.Plenty of others when he has been fully fit too.

Id argue it is in fact our biggest problem. We can't get a settled defense on the pitch because they have all turned into sick notes. This means we are playing a different selection every week and we can't get any stability in a critical part of the pitch.Stones staying is the least of our problems.
The rest of the defence has been injured too baring Gvardiol.Id argue it is in fact our biggest problem. We can't get a settled defense on the pitch because they have all turned into sick notes.
