Contract seemingly running out
Michael Carrick was asked this specific question last week - he sidestepped by saying he wouldn't talk about any specific player and go public on their negotiations.His best position is his position he played last night. If we’re gonna continue with this formation going forward I would offer him a new deal and tell him he’s going to play a big part. I suspect he will have half an eye on leaving though. He’s been here a good old while. Might fancy a new challenge.
Its perhaps a pay day signing on fee elsewhere, and that might be his last that will decide it for him Diego.His best position is his position he played last night.

Poor last night until the sending off but only Howson wasn't. I understand he's on a big wage, if so he's not worth it.
I’m certain he’s a better player than Clarke or Lenihan.He's 28 going on 29 next month so he's probably around his peak as a central defender. A bit like us with Lenihan, someone will pick him up. The difficulty is that no Championship team is likely to offer him the same wage as he's on with us, however if they need a central defender then they'll look at the savings from not paying a transfer fee.
If we didn't have him and had a central defence unit of Fry, RVDB, Lenihan and Clarke, we wouldn't put much effort into signing him, even if he was free.
