More mutterings about no contract talks.

Double post.

Does that mean that Red Mike is secretly a Mod?

[Daffy Duck]

No, there were just more mutterings after some mutterings?

A lot can happen in an hour. Like lots of muttering.

It is a shame to lose him and he will probably go to a mid table team, then later, transfer again to one of the big teams. On current form he is the outperforming all of our central midfielders. I hope he has starts against Dortmund.

There is something very satisfying about watching a guy as small as him winning all these tackles. Its a David and Goliath thing and the beard really has me believing he can turn it around now.

I'd happily keep him as a squad player- as long as he's happy with that. Doubt he will be though

I'd like him to stay and think he could easily grow into a first team role here, but I'm certain if he does leave it will remain mid-table obscurity for him as I doubt another big team would take a punt on him. Unless of course a Welsh manager or coach gets an influential role for one of the big clubs.

Giggsy.

Thoroughly deserved, probably even with Lucas and Henderson fit. I hope he stays.

[RedReet]

It's an odd one. On paper he's a good fit for Klopp's style, he's played well on the rare opportunities he's got under Klopp, he's bound to one of our lower earners (for a first team player anyway), he seems a good pro and he adds to the British quota. Plus he'd have decent sell on value if still in contract.

Have we tried to low-ball him with contract negotiations or are we just seemingly happy to let it run down?

[Liverpool]

I'd keep him and if we aren't then a new contract is needed to protect his value. The homegrown thing could become an issue with klopp looking abroad

He's a good player to have a round but he seems to get injured a fair bit so he's not really a reliable squady.

Done well to turn round his form. I didn't rate him before we signed him and that didn't change under Broger.

But now he looks like he actually belongs. Like lots have said, it's a surprise there doesn't seem to be any momentum to keep him - unless it's a bit of Jurgen psychology to make him play out of his little welsh skin until the end of the season.
