But that means he was part of the success no? I mean he is going to be old by time the contract is over but if you can get 3-4 years of good production out of him i don't see the problem.
If you have 5 good players your going to have a good line. Im not so sure we are in such a position.
He isnt awful hes a good player and if we were signing him for 7m a year id be happy enough, however we are talking about signing for 11 odd million a year... way way too much for Albert. I don't want to pay Monroe that either but at least he is young, likely to improve and a great scheme fit. Albert isnt a great player and never ever will be. Also Alberts injury record concerns me
