Our strategy since MM took over has been to concentrate on younger players with the odd older player to fill a gap. McShane could be an upgrade on Loovens and one that might last longer but until Loovens decides whether to stay I guess McShane is unlikely.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

I always think youth complimented by experience is the way to go.
I don't see why in this new venture going forward we can't have both, I'd certainly prefer mcshane for leadership
Both as in loovens and mcshane ( I meant )

Assuming that SG stays and that he will go with a flat back four, then we have Loovens, Lees & Dielna, which leaves one vacancy. I suspect this will go to a younger player because Loovens & Lees will be first choice so little point paying big wages for a bench warmer.
In truth, McShane would probably do a better job than Loovens & he is less injury prone. However, an offer has been made to Loovens so we have to sit tight until he makes a decision unfortunately.
Now if we played 352 then things might be different.....

Kieran Lee has signed a new 2 year deal.

Not exactly enthused by Lee re-signing. As long as he's a squad player it's not too bad.

I think Lee has the ability but seems shackled by our system. He would certainly be better off in a three man midfield. To be fair to him, he keeps improving and I'm certainly glad he's re signed.
