To be honest, despite his great service to the club, all the experience in the world wouldn't make up for his lack of pace. Whilst he could do a job in the championship, if we have aspirations of promotion we need something better. If that isn't Dunk and Goldson, then the cheque book needs to...
He's certainly on a par with Elphick and Cook. I can see him and Goldson playing Premier football. Another year in the championship won't do them any harm.
