Does anyone read the script. Jeez. Wages not an issue Age not an issue Sell on not an issue I fully expect Brum wanting to extend his contract beyond next year. No one will be looking to pay a fee, so his wage demand will be the key.
It’s absolutely mental that he’s getting paid a million quid a year for four years. He was a decent player for us but I’d want a star for that money considering the defenders we’ve had since him. Pinnock, Solbauer, Anderson and Helik are better players for a start. I’d argue Kitching is already looking as good although it’s a small sample size. Just to be clear this is not a dig at Roberts and fair play to the lad. It just shows how bad some clubs are managed at this level.
Not every signing has to have resale value. The odd guy who will add value to younger lads with their knowledge and experience isn't a bad thing. Take someone like Sollbauer for example. If he had still be in our defence this season with Andersen out injured I don't think we would have dropped four points from winning positions and I reckon we would have had more wins.
I thought he was outstanding yesterday; at the back and as an attacking option. The way he conducts himself as well - model professional.
His age puts him out of the defined cell value range on the spreadsheet..... https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/excel.range.value
