He is not the answer. The chances of him coming back and not get injured again are close to zero.
Why was he not sold last summer?

Says it all when you are desperate for him to return and praying he gets through 5 games before getting injured again.

Don't blame the lad to be honest... Probably feels better for it, warmer weather training is a thing.
He’s definitely in the top 10 of gash signings, 28m for this nut brittle waste of a dressing room hook.
He's our best defender currently though.
Also you can't sell what no one wants like...

Nobody is going to pay a fee, and 120k per week.

When’s he due back for his next 30 minute cameo?
Barca have a buyback option, I think it's 54m
There is more chance of them buying Michael Keane for 54m.

If we dont get £15mil+ in the summer then it probably makes sense to keep him.
He'll be in the last year of his deal and magically perform like a world class player all season to earn a deal elsewhere.

Why indeed. Lack of planning, strategy, managerial upheaval and uncertainty, incompetence - take your pick.
Feels like we’re going to lose him for 10/15 million this summer or worse he’ll see out the last year of his contract and go for free.
There have been so few successes in the transfer market over the last 5/6 years that we really can’t let the few players who have retained or rarest of rare, enhanced their value leave for knock down prices/freebies.
A competent club in our financial position would have been discussing a new deal with his agent throughout last season and he’d either sign one or if he didn’t want to or wouldn’t commit then the club needs to take control of that situation and do everything to find a buyer in the summer. All the power in Mina’s court now, we’re over a barrel.
This fella could be the difference between us staying up or going down. And he’s not even that good.
Desperate times.
Desperate times.
