Think he has been a bit better than alright!

Really?

By my reckoning he has played in about 50% of the games available over the last 2 seasons. So he has hardly been a vital cog as I suspect we probably didn't win more than 50% of the games he played in or lose more than 50% of the ones he didn't. Out of those 50% he played in I doubt he was exceptional in more than 25% of those.

Now I'm not knocking him I think he has been a good signing. However those figures are not that stunning and at the age of 35 will only go down.

You could say the same about JD but he offers more than just game time.

Drew got unlucky in his first season with us. He got injured early on and missed alot of games, then coupled with a family bereavement which ensured he had to returned home he struggled to put back to back games together.

With a full off season we've seen what he can do. Early on in the season he was superb and we've seen the odd glimpse later in the season which suggests that while his body may not be upto week in week out football he still can unlock defences.

Although i do believe the club have made the right decision in not renewing his contract. Whilst a quality player, it's a risk to keep him here when the cap space can be used to retain some youngsters

Great old player. What you don't seem to get is that you can only have so many players and thus you have to balance the squad. If you had your way we would only sign players and never sell in which case we would have a squad of a 1000 some as old as time and need the income of an oil rich Arab state to pay them. Come on get a grip.

Nah Snitch we should have kept bad losing him to bloody cas. We keep players like Hendo/Winterstein when we could keep snitch.

Do you know for a fact that they have both signed for next year or are just speculating?

Guessing here but i wouldn't be surprised if Snitch is on 3 times what Hendo is. Therefore i'd say it's beneficial to keep Hendo who can cover threequarters and forwards and to be fair has been playing very well.
