You don't think we need guys like Joe Allen on the bench to come in and get a job done when needed?....Really?
Joe is a good bench option, to cover injuries or for rotation purposes but he could very easily be upgraded on by bringing in better players than our regular midfield starters and dropping them to the bench.
Joe also suffers with injury problems too, a bit like Lucas. He has a decent run of games then he's out for longer than he's just played so we can't even rely on him when he might be needed. Something that Jürgen mentioned a few weeks ago when asked about his contract situation.
I guess a lot depends on where Jürgen feels his money needs spending as a priority, if it's not in midfield then Joe probably stays, for now.
