I honestly think his race is run. He doesn't offer enough for us if we want to progress. He's been a great (but slow) servant but If he continues to play like he has in recent weeks, we'll be better off without.

Disagree. He’s knackered. Still brilliant, love him.I honestly think his race is run. He doesn't offer enough for us if we want to progress. He's been a great (but slow) servant but If he continues to play like he has in recent weeks, we'll be better off without.
Exactly…..quality and important playerWith two quality CM’ers behind him with pace, I think he’s still got it.
He went from having Caicedo/Mac, to an eclectic mix of very slow or unstructured midfield partners. He must be knackered carrying them.

Just watched the interviews on the Albion website. He was his usual dour self but his responses weren’t very convincing that he will be hanging around. RDZ loved him but as with all players, they recognise that a new manager will have other ideas.Gross looked a distressed lonely figure after the game
How many times has this been said? How many times has he come back and produced?I honestly think his race is run. He doesn't offer enough for us if we want to progress. He's been a great (but slow) servant but If he continues to play like he has in recent weeks, we'll be better off without.
100% agree with you. I very much hope he stays with us and I'm totally confident he would still be one of our best players next season. But we can't carry on using him like that. We've completely flogged him to death this season.IMO, him playing 94+ mins for the last 3-4 months or more has jaded him, needs to be used more sparingly or subbed off more often next season to prolong his career at a top level.
