Nice bit about Chambo isn't it?-I hope we get a new deal sorted for him. |  | |  |

Never mind, at least Gerken is getting a new deal. |  |

The bit about chambo:
'Mick McCarthy said recently that Luke Chambers is the best captain he's ever had. And I wouldn't disagree with my old boss. Chambers is the best skipper I played under. When I got to Ipswich, I'd played for my country and played five or six years in the Premier League - which is not being big-headed, it's a fact. This kid, who hadn't achieved anything like that - and still hasn't - was my captain. Yet from the moment I met him, I looked up to him.
He always had the best interests of the team at heart. He had a way of welcoming new players to the squad and a way of being nice but steely within that group. He was Mick's voice in the dressing-room and on the pitch and he just had an instinctive way of knowing what the manager needed. Like Mick's assistant, Terry Connor, he wasn't the boss's puppet and he was not a complete 'yes man', but he was good for Mick and the team.
Chambers never put himself first. He played out of position when I was there, and he is still playing out of position and he loves it. That is the sort of thing I respected and admired. He inspires his team-mates to do better for him, and for Ipswich. He kept the football real and never allowed anyone to get big-time.' |  |

And perfectly encapsulates why it's maddening that he doesn't have a new contract on the table. |  |

Arguably the most important player we have. Which, given the thread elsewhere about McGoldrick, speaks volumes.
I echo your thoughts, I cannot understand what they are doing and to create the instability they did around him in January could easily have de-stabilised the whole squad. Perhaps it has. |  | | |

My respect for Chambo went up further with the way he handled the nearly signing for Forest debacle. To come back from that, still no contract and continues to give 100% every game.
Play him at CB and give him a contract ffs! |  |

Reading that, I found myself thinking, "If Mick goes, why not make Luke player-manager?" |  | | |

Not sure I'd go quite that far but I do reckon he'll be a manager one day. |  |

Phil needs to make this a sticky thread at the top so everybody can read it. |  |
