Calde new deal?

[TonyW]

Please let this be true.

I hope not.

We need a new younger right back but Calde can do a job as a squad member.

We need a new younger right back but Calde can do a job as a squad member.

Calde hasn't been playing at right back for quite a few games now. He's back to his original right midfield slot which is what he played in Spain.

In pure footballing terms you're probably right, but Calde is much more to this club than that.

Hear hear

Nice guy very loyal but really now only a bench warmer for next season

I meant the thumbs up for the supposed Calde new deal

Good utility player to have on the bench to cover a number of positions but hope we will sign a better first choice right midfielder in the summer.

From a purely emotive point of view, I wouldn't want to agree with this.

Take emotion out however and I completely agree. He was one of our weakest link on arriving in the division, he is now playing as a right winger where he has done an adequate job (although some would argue he is there because Bruno is a better defender rather than Calde being a better offensive player) but really we need better options at both right back and right midfield if he have any intention of ever getting promoted.

If he doesn't eventually end up as a coach here I will be shocked/upset in equal measures.

Far too often people believe a player has an emotional link to the club when really, and this is no slight on the player's character, they are just treating it as a job.

With Calde however, he is either an AMAZING actor or he genuinely cares about the club. It's VERY rare, ESPCIALLY for a player with literally no link to the city/country prior to coming here.

I was speaking to a member of the AITC team the other day who said that Calderon is BY FAR the most keen player in terms of involving himself in their projects, he will literally do anything and absolutely go for it- and that's been the case basically since he's been here
