Your point is valid that he is on a downward trajectory but the money received (not much) versus the money needed to replace him (lots) means I’d keep him. He’s also taken a pay-cut which illustrate his commitment to ‘the project’.In an ideal world we’d have an 20 year old developing in the youth system/on loan ready to replace him.Routh and Carroll have both made the bench recently and look like decent prospects.Feeney is still around and looked a great talent when he arrived, similar with Mosquera.Ozcan is on a loan with an option but I suspect he'll be back in the summer.Fingers crossed 1 or 2 of them can step up and give us options there.Ozcan has hardly played on loan, some talk hes being recalled and sent on loan somewhere else

I saw a thing from the Anderlecht manager the other day, he was suggesting that there's nothing wrong with Ozcan's ability, but his lack of any language to communicate in other than Turkish makes it difficult to get across ideas of how he wants him to play.Which is pretty much our fault for not picking a particularly sensible place for him to go.
That makes it sound like he only communicates in Turkish which isn't going to help him have a career anywhere else which includes with us.
The centre-back made two appearances in the Europa League qualifiers in August. Basi, however, didn’t consider the Aston Villa owned player for the league until recently.He made his Jupiler Pro League debut when he came off the bench against Sint-Truidense VV on December 13th. A week later, Özcan made his second league appearance for the Belgian club.Voetbal Krant explain the Turkey international was given opportunities because he made progress. However, he has one major flow that has been pointed out by the Anderlecht coach.“He’s trying to bring the style of football, but communication is difficult. He speaks very little English. He has a lot of energy, goes full throttle in training, and has been a positive substitute in both matches,” he said.Özcan’s integration into the squad was delayed due to paperwork issues. Last month, Anderlecht sporting director Olivier Renard defended his decision to sign the player and confirmed the €8m purchase clause.
Undoubtedly. Even if you don't plan on playing in England, you'd think that if you're a young player keen to make the best of your career, it's going to be a pretty crucial part of your development wherever you end up. (assuming the thing that I randomly saw has any truth in it at all, which it might not)edit :QuoteThe centre-back made two appearances in the Europa League qualifiers in August.
