The best centre back in the premier league a few years back. Not just bias, was backed up by one of them stats sites like who scored or opta or something. Unbelievable player and would’ve had it out with anyone back then who said van dijk or Diaz or whatever was better and wouldn’t have swapped anyone for him. I’d be over the moon if he stayed on and got back in the team but might be the case that he’s finished unfortunately. Good luck to him if he has to move on.

If I'm not mistaken 0 yellow cards that season too. (it may have been that season, or the following, that he got 1 yellow card that never in a million years should've been a yellow)

I expect the Club is ambivalent as he’s probably good to have around for the younger players but, if he gets an offer that gives him more time on the pitch, it will be facilitated.

Says everything about the England set-up that he never got selected and had to opt for Jamaica instead. Peerless defender in his prime.

Peerless defender at his peak, I would agree. Had a decent bit of pace in his prime and hoovered up anything in the air at the back. Always chaos in the opposing box if we had a free kick or corner swung in. A brilliant servant to the club and a real team player.

He was never getting near England though, whoever was in charge. Great defender, but bringing it out from the back or being a ballplayer was never his strength.

He can probably still do a good job for someone in a flat back 4 or 5, but I'm afraid his time with us is coming to an end. If he can get a move to Hull or another PL club, then he's done well.

Given game time he will get more in the grove of the speed required but unfortunately he will no longer get that chance with us.
