mehh, better to renew him for lower wage, than lose him for nothing. I don't think we can find a better defender for free... well Smalling i guess.

4 mln salary is rather expensive for a back up player.
It’s a question of risk. Would his replacement(s) be capable of doing his job for less. Ideally his replacement should be already in the team but there not here.

Even Smalling would be an upgrade over this guy. I get they don't want to make too many changes in defense but don't they realize how much the guy has declined in the last 2 years? He's getting benched by grandpa Acerbi.

I just hope our defense won't be Smalling, Acerbi and SDV next season.

Smalling's so much better it's an insult to Smalldini to compare the two.

Usually players perform better during free agent years this guy clearly showed us that he's done at our level.

the owner doesn't really care with the sport thing, decline or anything like that. absolutely what the owner want is money.

Yea but if we don’t continue to make champions league our value declines

If we don’t have good players that can easily get them quick sales then the value of the organization declines. If we put 80% of our roster up for sale for 5-10 million each only like 5-6 guys can get us that money. Even then we over pay them so grossly that the other team will not be able to afford those wages.

Smallling, Acerbi and De Vrij can increase our value as a company? i don't think so, their era was already over as a footballer. Bastoni and Skriniar only can increase the club value.

We should have sold him after we won the scudetto and there was some mild interest in him. Now he’s been benched by Acerbi (who admittedly hasn’t been bad at all) and he’s declined as well. Unless he takes a significantly reduced salary, I see no point in renewing him.

We cannot continue with De Vrij as the starter if Inzaghi is the coach. Our setup demands more physically able CB. Indeed, even Smalling would be an upgrade over current De Vrij.
