I know he scored last night but lets not get carried away. I'd much rather have a newish VW but I don't like paying a premium for the same product so I drive a Skoda. |

He would have been a hell of a player in his pomp, and you can see how MON and Neil talk about him that he's about as good as you'll get as a pro.
But I was still very surprised to learn when he joined that he'd got 40 England caps - and Gary Cahill had got 60.

He's a great talker as well, great captain for the remainder of the season, if Baker isn't playing.

Stripping Baker of the captaincy mid season would be a pointless humiliation of the player. Shawcross being captain did nothing to diminish the ability of others such as Huth, Whelan and Walters, to influence the team dynamic. |

Is he a POTS candidate? He is, isn't he?

When it comes to free kicks, I think you couldn't beat a (Bill) Bentley.  |

He is an absolute credit to his profession and for those calling him fat I very much doubt it.
He is very thick waisted but it's probably due to a lot of abdominal work throughout is career to help support his back which is very important especially with centre backs.

Would or should we give him a new contract for at least another season. Comes across as a good egg off the field, a nice bloke. Coped well with Gykores on Saturday.

I don’t see any reason why he shouldn’t be given a pay as you play deal of sorts or a 6 month rolling contract. He’s not what he was but has been the epitome of a model pro since he’s been here. |

Same as this season - a contract until January with the option of an extension. Agreed. He’s decent at worst in this league. Shouldn’t feature more than once a week but is typically solid when he plays. All squads need experienced players and if we got rid, we’d only go and replace him with someone like Flint. |
