I think in this case it is better the devil you know. Whilst it would have been good to freshen up the team with a new number 1, I am not convinced that the hierarchy would recruit a quality replacement, so providing his attitude and body language improve, I am fairly happy to have Sa in goal.
Seems a strange decision for Sa free agent at the end of tge season? If we dont go up he will be begging for a move again. But this actually goes with the whole window a collection of frees and on loan players who include a novice who surely will struggle to get game time i assume we will pay his wages to sit on the bench while we let Sasa go on a free? Why not keep Sasa till January and reassess then or even Hwang? I worry about how this club is being run they convince the fans to trust them then go back on their word? I see protests on the horizon
Attitude and body language needs a big change going forward!! error strewn performances will still dog him! Sadly looks like he is the best of a average bunch for now
The guy has been trying to leave for at least two years, was stupidly given the captaincy in the past and now it seems like we are paying him more money to keep him sweet rather than telling him to get his head down and earn your corn….this club is like a charity at times IMO
Unreal, for someone who's been trying to leave for a couple of year's 🤣
You have no leverage in the selling market if he is on an expiring deal. . .
If we couldn't sell him 2 years ago what chance do we have in Jan or next summer

This smacks of desperation, bought on by a lack of planning - fence sitting management .

Dude has been wanting to leave for ages, isn't a great trainer, can't get a move, so gets a pay rise? (assuming he has a relegation wage drop).
Talk about failing upwards
If this helps to focus him I have no issue. I’d hate to think we have had to use money to motivate him but who knows in football.
The reality is if Toti gets dropped Sunday he’s most likely going to Captain the side until Trippiers back
