Must be a hard role to fulfil being the bedrock of the defence but also our 2nd best striker.

Podolski can provide some cover for him now, so it will be easier.

We never have a problem getting players who aren't really attracting the interest of other clubs signing a new contract though, it's just those club are after we never seem to be able to hold on to.

An obvious point but a correct one.

Indeed.

One of the first names on the team-sheet for me.

Needs to work on his defending though you can't fault his effort or determination. However, the fact that he contributes offensively shouldn't blind us to his defensive faults. He was part of a defence that conceded a lot of goals last season, so plenty of improvement needed.

Need to see how he and Merts do for a longer run of games.

They are our 2 best CBs and looked pretty good for a bit.

Yup, I like him as a player but he is a bit of a wanderer.

Like a drifter he was born to walk alone.
