That's a good point Shakey, and I hope they do look at career history rather than just last season history. Unfortunately for Leam his career history isn't great neither. In four full seasons with us he has managed 119 games so that gives him an average of 29.75 games and he has pretty much been first choice if available.
I like Leam a lot but we can't afford to carry anyone anymore, for that reason alone Leam would be on my transfer list. And for the same reason Cav.
I can't find any real history on Chris King other than 141 games in 6 years for TNS, but there is no break down as to how many per season - he may not have broke into the team for 3 years and then played 47 games a season for the next 3 years. But just off his performances last year and the fact that he had one injury that kept him for the rest of the season after 27 straight games, I'd like to have ensured we keep him.
