Wouldn't be an established international midfielder if he had been shite since December 2018. AB is one of our best players and we should be doing everything we can to keep him.
 
He's a real Northender- give him a new contract and give him a consistent role to play in the team but take the Captaincy away.

What a load of shite that is. AB has been one of our most consistent players for years. To say that in the season he got into double figures it masked how little he contributes is nothing short of ludicrous.

He has been poor this season, there is no doubt about that. However, he's still one of our stand out players and he'd be the one I'd be keeping if push comes to shove.

Anyone who says they would if push comes to shove keep Browne over Pearson needs to give their head a wobble.

Even though he's been largely shite for a long period of time I like Browne & think to a certain extent he has suffered with AN playing him out of position or slotted in at FB but he's not even on the same planet as Pearson in terms of importance to us.

Scott Wiseman was an established international right back. Means fuck all if your national team is shit.

I think the competition with Arter, Hendrick, McCarthy and Hourihane is at a slightly higher calibre than some part time potato farmer who plays for Lincoln Red Imps.

I'm not saying Alan Browne is some world class superstar but he is certainly better than the shower of shite you are making him out to be

I genuinely can't think of a player having a worse season in terms of passing and keeping possession since we returned to the championship. Central midfield has been a massive problem without Pearson this season, and he and Johnson shoulder most of the blame for that.

Defensively he has been largely good, with 3 good performances at right back in Fisher's absence. But obviously Fisher is a much better right back so it isnt like he has a role their.

I dont hate the fact you rate him. He does some things really well, and he might be one of those players you miss more when he is off the field. How you'd put a precedent on signing him over Pearson, Davies and Fisher is beyond me. Especially Pearson, that is simply mental

My point was more the fact that out of the 5 that who are out of contract, Browne, realistically, is the only one that I see signing on.

I'm not saying Browne is a better player than Pearson, Davies, DJ etc. What I am saying is that I would much rather offer Browne the deal he wants, than piss about wasting time with the others if we know they arent going to sign new deals

Get money for them in January and re0invest 50p in some player from the 5th division in Scotland

You say my view is a load of shite, but opinion is opinion, and my view is that you're loyalty to Browne is seriously misplaced, and in fact I do believe it is you that is talking shite.
If you look at passages of play, dictating game, managing tempo of a game, contributing to intricate pass and move motions, then he is nowhere. But he does hit a good clean shot. I stand by my comments.
And this season he is found wanting. The problem is that he really only performs at this level in an attacking midfield role, unfortunately for him he doesn't do it as well as DJ. That's why he gets played out of position every game, and that's why he looks average. And I'm not even sure this is just my opinion, I think it could be fact, as proven week in, week out.
You might not like it, and me neither. I'd love to be raving about him as the best centre mid in the league, or even just our best centre mid, but it just isn't the case.
