No doubt he could have had so much more out of his career but a one season wonder is wide of the mark. The lad has played for Milan and Benfica and did well at both. Unfortunately his head limited his ability. If that was screwed on then he would have had an unbelievable career. A shame really, but will never forget the joy of watching him in our promotion season.
But taking out the Benfica B games he's averaged 15 games a season over the last eight seasons. I suspect most of those absences were due to lack of fitness (weight) and damaged ego (motivation).
I ageee with you that he should have had a much better career but the sacrifices to achieve that were too much for him. But its brought him a great lifestyle and life experiences. I suspect he'll end up playing in the Saudi league now to finish off his career and bag some excess oil money kicking around.

Diaz is worth 20m plus in today's market but that's a huge gamble to take if he's free in the summer. The players are calling the shots more than ever these days.
There's no point in signing a contract extension anymore as the club is then in control of any potential move whereas the player can tell their agent to start talking to clubs as soon as they enter the final 12 months of their contract.

Surely a free agent can be found who could come in for 6 months even.
Again players like Vydra would surely appreciate a chance to keep playing as their careers begin towards the end.
I really dont think Roberts is the answer either tbh, although he should be given starts to prove himself one way or the other.
