Love Jan but it doesn't make sense to give a long term anything given his age and declining pace. Would rather see him see out his days at Ajax and then come back to be a coach for us.
 
You could argue that he's currently our best player at all four defensive positions. Who knows, he might be our best DM too.

If he was our best centre back, he wouldn't be playing left back.

In response to the post you quoted. If he's happy to stay, keep him. Experienced and an excellent footballer.
 
Please do not offer this guy a new contract.
There were reports at the start of the season that Poch didn’t want us to offer him a new contract as his performance dropped and people were shocked at how this could happen.
Poch was once more right. And he still had a clue about the personnel in his backyard which proves how clueless most of the supporters really are when they wanted Jan to be given a new contract.
 
He did have 91 passes , thats almost the same as Lucas, Locelso, kane, Lamela, alli put together and he was forced to lump it up over and over again. The majority of these 'give aways' are from our hoofball tactics and midfield hiding and other defenders giving him the ball in a corner to hoof it up. 31 out out those 33 are from passes not reaching the target. He was genuinely dispossesed just once.

Hes getting old and slow and does need to be replaced. Not the best decision to give toby a contract either. Both of them are done.

The fact we use him as the out ball so much just shows how little they trust Aurier.

The reports were actually that the club offered him a 1 yr extension whereas he wanted 2 yrs.

...Plenty of us understood the clubs position.
