At some point I think we need to address this issue. We go into every year knowing Keita, Matip, Ox and Shaq are all going to miss considerable time. That’s 4 spots and a lot of money on players that you won’t be able to fully count on during a season and really leaves you shorthanded.
Shaq will be sold in the Summer if not January.
Ox I don't think will ever fully get over that awful knee injury unfortunately. And with the emergence of Curtis Jones I don't see a future for Ox here certainly not in the starting 11 so would look to sell him in the Summer too.
Matip and Keita are quality players who are worth keeping for at least another season so see if they can shake off these niggling injuries.
We will need to sign a top CM or two next Summer as Hendo is not getting any younger and Gini may leave (hopefully not).
