i'd keep him. i'm not convinced he's as shot physically as most. for those saying he's lost pace, he was never that quick. what he's lost, imo, is the aggression and timing, both more mental than physical. Maybe his injuries have mentally scarred him to the point of no return, but we've nothing to lose giving him the chance to overcome that. Positionally he still looks good, and there were a few games last year when he came on and for the first time in months we were actually well placed to pick up second balls.
i know i'll get a bunch of disagrees here.
DierSo does Poch view Skipp as our DM in replacement of Vic, or do we not have an out and out defensive midfielder?
Dier
Yeah easy doneSadly, I forgot he existed for a while there.
Ndombele, Winks, Lo Celso, Sissoko, Dier, Wanyama and Skipp vying for the cm spots. Is there any team in world football with that many cms?i'd keep him. i'm not convinced he's as shot physically as most. for those saying he's lost pace, he was never that quick. what he's lost, imo, is the aggression and timing, both more mental than physical.

Levy got £6m for Palacios in 2011.IMO we'll be lucky.
That guy is riddled with gout IMO.
Palacios was broken mentally, which is far harder for a medical to spot. I get really sad for him because I’m sure there’d been times where he blamed himself, his success on his brother getting kidnapped and murdered.Levy got £6m for Palacios in 2011.
