Notice Rekik captained PSV last week. I've not seen him play but he must still be doing well to be given the armband.

Should Lescott get a new contract?
- Thread starter Mancini's Second Contract
- Start date
He isn't getting one, clearly, so this thread is a bit redundant. But If it were up to me probably not. Been a much better buy then I thought he would be when we got him, but tbh, he's served his purpose. I'd rather the space opened up for Rekik to get a chance.
Grateful but time to move on for both parties I think.

Kolo's wage was ridiculous for a guy who started 5 games a season tbf, Demichelis is probably on a half to 2/3rds of it at most. Balancing wage bill is an important part of getting maximum value out of a squad, particularly with FFP about, top wages go to top players.

Citys wage structure has changed considerably over the past 12 months and only the creme del la creme will top the £175K with our latest signings on a far lower wage but bigger bonuses,based on wins/cup success.

He was pretty good under the old system, but he's not suited to the high line.
Rekik can hopefully take his place

PSV is a team full of youth in their starting XI and the team has been languishing mid table all season.

Still impressive for a 19 year old loanee to get the armband, meanwhile leading them to a victory.

It is, but every time I check to see how PSV are getting on this season (wouldn't give a shit tbh if rekik wasn't on loan there) he seems to have gotten booked, which is a bit worrying.Bruun said:MillionDollarDream said:blueparrot said:Notice Rekik captained PSV last week.

Personally I think Lescott should be offered a 1 year extension on the same contract structure as the new players have come in on, so we can use that year to gradually ease rekik into the first team squad and we should look at doing the same on the other side(with a young right sided centre half, EDS if we got em, buy one if we don't) next year as it's the last year of demichelis' contract as well and I don't think he'll be staying after that year either.
