If he could stay fit we could offer him a big contract and build a defence around him. Unfortunately, as much as I rate him, we can't rely on him to stay fit. Reluctantly I think, should we get the chance, we must sell him in the summer.
 
I think we should offer him the new deal.

I see it as a less risky move.

Its harder to find a player to replace him, so keep him, regerdless of his injury record.

It genuinely shouldn't be all that difficult to replace him adequately, he's good but not outstanding. Whether we'd manage it is obviously the big question because our recruitment hasn't always been great, but theoretically it wouldn't be overly difficult to do.

I think its harder to get good players, than not.

And he is much better than just a good player, our best defender by some distance.

For what we could get now for him, im not confident at all we can get a player anywere near as good.

And if we could get one....why not keep Yerry and ship off keane / Holgate.

I mean his injury record is a massive, massive negative. We're not talking about someone missing a couple of games here and there, he's completed 90 minutes 8 times in the last 12 months. That's a full 38 game cycle and we've only got 8 full games out of him. A player who isn't quite as good but is a lot more reliable would actually be more useful over the course of the season.

He is good but in my opinion he's nowhere near as good as some people say. He's done some absolutely ludicrous things in the couple of games since he came back but to a large extent people seem to just ignore it. If Keane had done that mad ducking under the ball thing he did on Saturday there'd have been hundreds of comments in his thread about it, but it's been mentioned about twice in here.

We agree to disagree on this one mate.

His last injury had me thinking we should cut our losses and sell this summer, but the more I think about it, I'd hand him a new contract today no question, even on his big wages. He's not so perma-injured that he doesn't still hold value in the market. It's just very disruptive in a position where you want the least amount of disruption. With a new long term contract signed we could still sell him, and demand more money. To be fair we probably have offered him one, but I wouldn't blame him for wanting to wait to see where we're headed post Carlo.

Finding good center halves is difficult, as you said. You either pay huge money or take a gamble. I can't see us selling both him and Keane in one window, and I want Keane out of this club more than pretty much anybody.
