Can't see the logic in this. He'll be 39 in January 2025, hasn't played since January 2024. Originally due to a thigh injury that's gone on and on. Giving him another year looks like a sinecure for the spavined.
No way is he able to cover at Full Back. Pace has gone. He looks like he's towing...
Excellent tonight in a midfield role. He and Welbeck used all their experience and nous to put us in a position to win that game.
Hopefully we don't have to use him in defence again this season. I'm midfield, he is still an asset.
