NasPb Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 No way i want to sell him. Still very very useful as a squad player 3
Guest Mee-9 Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 Keep, the blokes a hero. He’s been amazing considering we got him on a free.
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 Definitely a no from me, keep him, he’s been such a good player for us and one we still need, unless of course he insists on a move for more game time, if so we should let him go and thank him for everything he’s done for us. Complete professional.
majaco Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 Can play in a 433 or as a wing back. Useful player however we go. At times, as a sub, he positively changes the energy of the team. It looks like we want four players who can play wide up front. We have Barnes, Albrighton and Sowah (an argument for Ricardo too). We want another player who can play wide not to lose one. And he's a legend. KEEP!
coolhandfox Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 I think we need to keep a core of British leadership group at the heart and soul of the club, we have lost Morgan, Simpson, King and James over the last few seasons. Leaving Vardy, Evans, Albrigthon and Kasper (Who grow-up in England). So it would be a no from me, unless it a offer to good to turn down. 1
FoxesWalk Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 He should retire here. A club legend and still has plenty to offer, the perfect squad player for us now. 4
adam95581 Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 Nope. We’d have to spend so much money to get an equivalent type player and they wouldn’t be as happy to play the role sharky does, or as reliable.

He is 31 and will find his opportunities reducing as we improve the squad. He may want to move to a club where he might keep getting regular game time. If he would prefer to stay then he is not for sale. Agree entirely - this is the principled spproach
CloudFox Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 Erm, how about no Burnley. Valuable member of the squad who proves his worth time and again. Hard pass at selling him. Also, if he did leave we would have 2 wingers (Barnes and Sowah) when we actively need another winger. Not going to happen.
Sharpe's Fox Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 Up to Marc this. If he secures a better deal and is guaranteed to play more in the medium term at Burnley then it's understandable if he want to go. He deserves this.

Webbo Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 According to the Mail, he's in talks with Burnley, he couldn't do that without permission surely? Unfortunately I think there's something in this. 1 1

HeskeyForever Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 In fairness, there's no way a player as reliable as Albrighton should be restricted to a handful of league starts - he's probably got a couple more seasons in his legs before perhaps dropping down to a Championship club so if he wants to maximise playing time I wouldn't blame him. Will be heartbreaking to see him play for someone else though.

Unfortunately I think there's something in this. We must be going big on a winger. To lose Albrighton and having flogged Gray as well we will need at least 1 new one. Sowah will be involved you'd hope.

Like Fuchs, I expect the club will take care of him when his playing career is over. Since the 2016-2017 season, Albrighton has seen players signed to replace him, and forced his way back on the team. But, truth is, the reason he played so much last season is because of the huge number of injuries. If we have a fully fit squad, he will miss the bench most games. Marc is in his early 30s -- it's a fully legitimate career move to stay at the club and provide cover. It's also a fully legitimate move to want to play every week. If he wants to go, I hold no grudge, but I'd hate it if he was asked to find another club. 1
scinnell Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 Especially with losing Fuchs and Morgan this summer, it is crucial we keep the experienced Marc for the season- even if it means we get nothing for him in 12 months!
FoxesWalk Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 Given his contract is up soon and they are likely currently negotiating a new one, I’m hoping this is just talk to get his new deal up a bit.

Pretty sure players talk with clubs all the time without permission Only time it becomes a problem is when it is really obvious like Liverpool with Van Dijk
Tielemans63 Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 I don't think Brendan will want to lose his experience. 100% keep
Steve Earle Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 Personally I’d be absolutely delighted if the club can sign an upgrade on Kevin as our 3rd/4th choice wide player for next season. As others have said, Sharky goes if he wants to - if he’d prefer to stay and accept being a squad option only then he’d be more than welcome to. Obviously if he goes we’d be looking at signing two wide players both better than him. What’s not to like about that? He’ll always be a hero here, a title winner and an FA Cup winner, but his time in or near the first team is drawing to a close
M0901 Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 Nope, nope. Legend of the club who still has a lot to offer the club. Why would we sell? A player who may not play every week but he’s still more than good enough for our squad.
filbertway Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 If he goes it means 2 wingers must be coming in, which I'm all for tbh. We need more goals in the squad 1
