I wouldn't mind him going. I don't think he is of enough quality to keep. He was okay as a central defensive cover when needed but with Terry coming in I wouldn't expect to see him used there. He's too slow on the ball and poor with it. Whelan would be better in that area so if he were to, fine. Plus, he's out of action whenever he's gone off to play for Australia.

Not his biggest fan due to his appalling passing and (seeming) inability to play in a midfield two

But we were so vulnerable without him that it would be a massive risk

I can't see this happening

We are poor in the middle of the park but we finished 13th in the division with him in there. There are better options around.

Injury prone, wrong side of 30, terrible with the ball and slow

With him in the side we sit far too deep. No loss

I agree with your assessment of  him. The only thing we'd miss is his toughness and defensive qualities. We need someone to be an enforcer and an attacking threat. If possible I'd like to see the club bring in Ryan Woods of Brentford.

Integral player that without, we were an abomination that could be cut through with ease. He's not going anywhere.

Yet Micah Richards quietly steals a wage with no sign of him being binned, ever.
I really do love seeing him pissing himself laughing during any shots of the players training. Or when he occasionally has to sit on the bench to make up the numbers.
Wage thief doesn't do him justice.

I was thinking about Richards when people were deliberating how best to spend Jedinak's 38k/wk wages.

Can you really be confident of promotion if we're relying on an ageing midfielder who will miss a fair chunk of games through internationals and likely injuries?

Relying on him to stop the opposition and win absolutely everything in the air, yes. You need to put your foot in and physically compete in this league.

Jedi filled the role this club has been lacking for several years now.
So before we think of replacing him let's make sure we have someone that can do this job.

Burnley used Barton. We use Jedinak.

Burnley went up. We finished 13th.

We had 14 games last season where Jedinak didn't play for us, 5 of them were played before he signed. We won 1 of those 14, Rotherham at home.

Exactly, we were crying out for him when he was injured.
