How long should we hang on to a player who has been at the club for years and still hadn’t impressed enough to break into the 1st team picture ?
If we do, what do you say to the players coming behind him who are then denied a chance by a player 3 years older who’s not in the 1st team picture.
How much do you offer him , as he won’t be YTS any more.
No, for me, and it may be harsh, it’s probably better all round for him to have a crack elsewhere.
The only other option is to keep him and loan him straight out, but for that you’d need a club at a decent level who want to take him and pay his wages.
If the club can’t find that then he’s wasted another few months.
It’s a tough situation and harsh that players get so little chance to impress, but then we’ve got fans booing a manager today who’s lost 3 in 17
