"That's gone very quiet," said Allen. "I'm not too sure really. I’ve only made one league start this season, so I want to play more. I think that’s obvious for any player in that situation. From my point of view it’s just about knuckling down, doing my job and giving my best, which is always what I do."

I think he'll be moved on in the summer when Grujic and another midfielder arrive. Til then he's a decent enough back up to have but nothing more

No need to dump him now but as WNP says, he'll be gone in the summer. He was ruined by the 'Welsh Xavi' tag!

probably best for everyone if he moves on. Not up to the standard we need in the midfield if we want to challenge for top 4. For 15 million hes just another expensive player we bought that hasnt worked out.

Who the hell would buy him and pay his no doubt quite high wages? We'll be lucky to get a third of that £15m back!

Probably worth giving him a new contract, he's 25, and getting better for Wales and liverpool. Still needs to keep working hard, because he doesn't offer enough going forward as a midfielder, other than when he's played in a deeper role, where he can pick those passes from and have more of a free role. Even at Southampton where he put the ball through to Sturridge I think it was, he was used in a 3 in central midfield. It's the setup he's more adept in. Like I've said before gives us a good option, so he's worth keeping, but he's not a long term first team regular for me. Let's just see if he can rise to my challenge of putting in a good a performance as Stoke, when he's required to have to ball in the attacking half/third - which is what you want to see more of your central midfielders doing.

I wouldn't get rid until after the Euros, once we win Euro 2016 with Bale, Welsh players will be the must have player all over Europe.

Barca will prob offer 25million for him.

The problem is ye he plays a deeper role and offers nothing going forward but hes far too lightweight for that cm/defensive type role. Even at that his tackling doesnt fill anyone with great confidence that he could even do a decent job at that role.
