Quote Chris Saint="Chris Saint":29ualw70Serious question here - why has he not played more this year?
I know he was injured, deregistered, kept off the SC in 2008 but he started in the friendlies at the begining on 2009 and then has hardly played since...
If injured fair enough (though that would be a concern in itself) but if fit and just not good enough then why take the risk of another contract - when you could promote more youth or use his contract elsewhere in the squad.'"

The comments i've heard about him is that when he appears in the game he stands out, but still seems to look his lazy self. I think that's probably just the aura he gives off though, i personally think when he has been in the first team he hasn't done too badly.
There was the one game, can't remember who against at the start of this year, where he had ainscough outside of him, got the ball a reasonable amount but then threw passes into touch because Ainscough had overrun/pass was too far behind, but he looked as if given match practice he could be a v good sl centre.
Definately worth another year, even if to just give him a run in the first team after he's had a lot of reserve matches under his belt. I can also see him getting a run in the team further towards the end of this season if we aren't any closer to getting in the playoffs.
