Sounds harsh but we've only seen good form from Michael Symes since August. There's also the inury aspect that Redash points out. The only player I'd be comfortable giving a two-year-plus contract to would be Phil Edwards. We've seen consistent, largely injury free form from him for years. Symes has never played a full season for any club, let alone gone one with consistent form and free of injury. Like you say cashy so often there's no room for sentiment. Eighteen months with a buy-out clause would be sensible for our level.
