Makes no sense for him to go anywhere now, both from club and player point of view. One to review in the summer I reckon.

So you honestly think it’s good for him to virtually have a gap year in his career? He had a couple late substitute appearances but he basically hasn’t kicked a ball for 7/8 months and you now think it will be good for him to sit around and not play again till the season starts again competitively this august? Mad decision if so

He’s under contract though so will have to do what the club want
 
He was injured for the first few weeks, came back and started to get the odd few mins then obviously was sent off. IMO we would have certainly seen more of him if not for the daft suspension.

He will have a part to play and I reckon he knows it, and will go nowhere
 
No way will he move this season, and I don’t think he’ll move next.

He’s under contract on good wages, and has his family settled in the area.

It’s also been his ambition to play in the Prem, and realistically that will only happen with us, unless he wants to gamble on getting promoted with a team like Boro and then gamble again on being kept in the team/squad if it happened.

I’m sure he won’t want it to happen, but he’ll be biding his time and ready to play if we have an injury crisis, key players get sold and not replaced, or if our form goes to shit, all of which are possibilities.

He's only been fit and available for a few games this season, I'm not sure he'll want to give up the possibility of playing more PL games so soon. Also, we'll probably want to keep him as cover - just takes a couple of injuries at the back and he's first choice defensive sub.

Don't think that's necessarily true. The club have been good with not standing in players' way, pretty sure thats what happened with Roberts when he went out on loan

After the deadline there will only be 14 league games left. Pointless having 3/4 first team players sitting around not even makiny a 20 man match day squad. Ill be very suprised if him and Neil both don’t go around the deadline

Thats the club choosing not to stand his in way, if they feel he’s need till end of season he’ll have to stay

Not for me, makes perfect sense, if we can get any kind of money for him then cash in, not in the team whatsoever so move him on, no sentimental nonsense.
I get he's adored by most and great servant and all that but unless they plan to give him another role within the club...
 
It'd be sad to see him move on this month, and I think we'd miss him in the dressing room.


Whatever he decides he's more than earned our blessing.

If he wants to go and play football, I'm pretty certain they'll let him.

If O'Nien starts getting games then you know things have gone to deep shit. Hes not at the level and shouldn't be on the field tbh.

Give him a farewell appearance last day of the season.
