No point in selling him. People really underestimate how important it is to have a good squad. We have to keep the likes of Dawson, Huddlestone and Parker.
In an ideal world if we have unlimited funds and players are happy to go weeks and weeks without playing. Hudd and Dawson are on decent wages but Parker has to be on around £300k per month.
I cannot see him wanting to be a bench player either.
Why is he going to be a bench player? Even if he doesn't start every game, he'll surely play his fair share. Sandro's already looking near to burnt out.
Also, i'm sure there will be times when playing a midfield 3 of parker, sandro and dembele would be justified and work.
How have you come to that conclusion then?
Whilst i'm not sure he's looking burnt out, he's not as fresh as he was, and the Christmas schedule is usually punishing.
Apparently Parker played today in a training match against Ipswich.
We got whomped 5-1
Or maybe just easing him self back in nice and gentle as you would - oops sorry we're talking Parker here.oops, he must be a bit rusty then, lol

Bit tight on the guy expecting him to take them on all by himself though

One thing that has not been mentioned about Parker is that when he plays he helps our posession game, he wins it and plays it, keeps it simple, its been said on here that when he carries the ball and breaks forward he looks out of his depth, that may be true but at least he recognises the need to do it and tries to make the difference.
It was the same with Jenas - sideways passing. He along with Parker does keep possession. It may not go anywhere but if the opposition dont have the ball they cant hurt you
Whats funny is people slagged JJ off for it but prostrate themselves at Parker's feet. If JJ actually had motivation he'd be a good player, he's just too much in the comfort zone to want to bust a gut.
We can ask, So who didn't rate Jenas but rates Parker?Do you know if it's the same people?
