Another great performance from him tonight, thank goodness 'arry refused to pay the £6m asking price and SL stood firm. Since coming back into the side he has been so key for us, really doubt we would be in top 6 had he moved.
Had he gone for circa £6m in the summer to a top Champ club or Prem team, not Brum, then with the acquisition of Baker to play alongside Wright, with Moore, Hegeler and Magnússon (possibly even Vyner in time) as back-up, I would’ve accepted it. Can’t say I wanted him gone or "rid", but would’ve accepted Flint’s and the club’s position for incoming offers.
He has value, ability, plus some weaknesses too.
He is playing well at the moment, and reformed an improved, mature partnership w
