Spot on Dando, I can’t see the obsession with him by some of our fans tbh

We've still in a great position but he was immense in his DM role plus we miss his leadership qualities. Just goes to show how well NW has adapted the team to cover injuries as AG was part of this teams backbone.
I can't wait to see him back playing for us and if we don't go up and he wants to move on, it would be a shame not to profit for his move to the PL as he's such a proven player both domestically and internationally. Top bloke too.

I can see why he is rated highly by some because you can't fault his work ethic and we haven't played a system that suits him since MM was here and he never looked the same since MM left really for me, he does more bad than good here he's always caught out of position and chasing the game more than he does dictate it, he is one of many players in the central area of midfield that lack any technical ability.

No offence to a decent City player over the last few years but he told the manager he wasn't prepared to stay beyond this season but added the caveat that he 'might' if we were promoted...
Not what you want to hear from a 'loyalty' point of view and (thanks to his national team) he hasn't been a big part of this campaign and that might just be saying a lot!

I think this is down to whether we can afford him. I can understand the "hold out to next season" attitude. If we don't go up then we won't be able to afford the wage he's currently on, so he's looking at a pay cut.
How many here would stick with their employer if they said to you next year (pulling a figure out of my head) we are going to pay you 50% less for the same job?
We think, as football fans, that the players love the club and only want to play for the club no matter what but that is a rarity these days.

Can’t blame him chasing the money as it’ll probably be his last big contract.
But I feel we need better.

honestly dont believe its a money thing, not like he can go and earn 50/60k elsewhere.
hes certainly paid his dues in the championship, being a combative player in a very difficult division for 10 seasons or so. good luck to him i say, and if we go up, id definitely keep but mostly as a squad player.

Joe Bennett did.
He could have earned much more at Fulham but decided to stay.
That’s why he’s one of my favourites, a very good LB and very loyal

I disagree mate, if he went on a free to Burnley he would earn at least 25k in the premier league. Turkish clubs were interested and if he has a stormer of a World Cup then they’d pay silly money. Not saying he’ll earn 50/60k but it would be significantly higher than we could pay him.
