Yes, I accept that his back end form wasn't great, but given he was playing in such a sh1t team with plenty of poor performers, and given that it was the first time in nearly 3 seasons that his form did taper, I would have thought a one year contract was more than justified. A man in the desert doesn't haggle over the price of water, and given his terrific durability and top shelf goal kicking (both qualities our list lacks), he should have been rewarded.
If poor form was the reason, there's 20 players who should be shown the door before him.
