Presumably this means that Vesty won't be going anywhere now? Shame, would much rather have kept Maya than that big old useless lump of turd.
Bit light in full back positions as well. I wasn't really a fan of him but he was a playing member of our team in our resurgence so couldn't have been that bad.
We still have 4 average CBs, and 3 fullbacks. Weirdly with Cedric and Yoshida going, we haven't actually gotten any worse.
I mean, thats yet to be seen. Personally i think right now Cedric is a better player than both KWP and Valery, so i think we have, but i will certainly give them the chance to step up and i hope they develop.
So, Shane Long. Contract up in the summer, big wages...... everyone happy with a loan fee? Tick tock.......
I'd honestly give him another year. Can't score for toffee, but brings so much more to the table. He'll be the reason we get anything tomorrow.
I had hoped Yoshida would stay forever, get into coaching, then manage the **** out of us, such is my man love for the guy!! Is this 100% happening? Can't blame him, needs to play more and hasn't had much of a look in this season. If true I will miss him around the place, in the YouTube vids etc. This leaves Ward Prowse as the only player left from our first season back in the Premier League! Hopefully he will become a great coach and come home one day!!
