Lies, damned lies and statistics but he's whoscored.com highest rated Bournemouth player. Not sure if agree with that but his influence is often understated.
Ironically all our defence get high scores despite them getting slagged off on here on a weekly basis.
It’s not what we think of him that counts, though I have always said he has been one of our best signings.
When you heard what Nathan Ake said about him at the awards ceremony, that’s what counts.
Been a reliable player at our club and in that time not missed that many games.
I wonder what the Charlton fans thought when we went up from one division to the next until we reached the PL with Simon have outstanding performances on that ride?
Sometimes our fans have short memories.
I accept that but we've seen how much is spent on wages and I'd guess he's up their with the rest of them. How can an extension beyond 2019 be justified or is Eddie doing sentiment with Max's money.
, probably low wages relatively. I’m happy.
If anyone thinks this is due to sentiment then they are sorely mistaken, "Sorry Fletch, can't see you in the Championship, time to retire", "No Bert, I can't guarantee you game time, and won't offer an extension, if you fancy the three year deal on the table from Mick I'll let you go for free", Franno still has something to offer, we do well with him in the team. It's just like Surman, watch the ball and you don't notice what they bring
No issue with next season at the most but please explain why you think he should be contracted for the following season (without the sentimental bollox)
