Agbonlahor's loyalty really boiled down to nobody else wanting the fat bastard.
This made me laugh. It shouldn’t have.

I wonder if Young will get offered an extra year with us. He shows no signs of slowing down.

I'm sure I read somewhere that discussions were already happening.

Thought he was a decent signing when he came back, but more along the lines of he'd do as a backup /utility player for a season whilst we concentrated on higher priority areas.

Actually been a fantastic signing & hope he'll stick around for the rest of his playing career (maybe allowing for a final season at Watford!).

Been a cracking signing, I think he is currently playing better than Cashy at right back.

His first stink cemented him as an all-time favourite of mine. Love a winger and he was one of the best/most exciting I've ever seen. Struggle to pick between him, Morley and Daley for jump out the seat anticipation when they got the ball. Even his dying swan when he was fouled by Clark (?) didn't dampen my view. To see him back and playing much better than he thinks he's capable of is a proper joy. Imagine how good he'd be if he had as much self-regard as he merits. And the calmness with which he slowed down, looked up and picked out the pass to set up the goal on Friday was astonishing.

Can't praise him higher than to say that even when he was tearing it up for that shower up north, I wouldn't hear a bad word about him. Still gutted that modern football meant we couldn't hold on to that O'Neill midfield.

I'll never forget his winner in the 3-2 at Everton.(Or listening to their world champion whinging fans in the pub after the match).

Yes, I loved the way he used to waft down the wing back then…

Definitely can’t criticise him for being all fart and no shit.

But can he do it on a wet Tuesday night in Cologne?

Remember as a yougster for us he took all the set pieces, quite brilliant at times but he got hacked down Grealish style and after a time it took it's toll. A rare total proffessional, you would think he would be part of the training set up after his playing days are over.

Defensively is doing well, but offers no attacking threat when playing as a right back

Hopefully next season we will see Kesler promoted to 1st team as cover for Cash
