Exactly what i was going to say, you could add park to that list too. I would like steed to stay as he is a trier and sometimes you need a battler to get you through the tough games (away at sunderland etc) Thats another reason id like tainio to stay, very good when fit and it has been seen this season against fabragas, especially as he can slot in to many positions and also has hardly ever, if ever played in his natural attacking midfielder position.
I know what you're saying here but it works both ways. You say it's good to have players who don't mind warming the bench but if you use them as backup you never bring youngsters through.
If we buy no more players this window (unlikely) and we make Dos Santos first choice LW and Lennon first choice right and Steed as back up then when do Tarabt, KPB etc get a game. I'd have good prospects as backup rather than journeymen any day of the week. That's what ManUre did through the 90s (with the exception of Brian McClair who let's face it, was much more of an impact player than Steed)
