When Ledley retires he will have served only one club in his career. And considering that for most of that career he has been playing at a far higher level than the club, we have been f'ing lucky to have him and for him not to leave us for Man U, Madrid or even Arsenal.
You can't expect loyalty in the modern game but when you get it you should realise how precious it is.
Personaly I'm grateful for every game he's played for us and if we carry him for 1 or 2 more seasons on a pay-as-you-play contract I'd be happy just to return some of the loyalty.
Except we won't be carrying him. Every time he plays he's still our best defender. If you still think we should sell him after considering all that then you open yourself up to questions about your own sense of loyalty...
