The reality of it is we have such a small pathetic squad as it is that keeping him means one less purchase needed that’s the only way I can see it and maybe adding to the English player quota
Need a squad, we have no money & his wages won’t be high. May even be able to sell him if we can sort out FFP & afford better players. A common sense decision I would have thought.
We’re probably lacking players who are classed as home grown at club.
Maybe someone at the club is still crazy enough to think we can qualify for Europe again before the scouse Pirlo retires?
