Always a joy to see you're the latest reply to a thread I recently posted in when I have a new notification
No matter how you try to excuse it away he's seen his minutes take a drastic hit and his performances have done nothing to help him play any more as one could reasonably expect. For those reasons alone he should seriously consider leaving. If the other players in his position are just too good for him to even hope to play the most logical solution is to move elsewhere. At his highest point last season he was only 3rd choice, and with Mathieu and Vermaelen healthy you will say this exact same thing except you'll be saying all
four of the other CBs have been better than him.
I actually find it kind of stupid how people still seem to think that this season will somehow go any different for him. His situation is getting worse, not better. When our CBs get too old we'll just go out and buy new ones instead of using him; we've already shown him we will.
