I also considered that point but then looked at the evidence to support it.
As far as I saw it, for well over the first half of the season we saw Randell starting and doing all or most of first half. Then around half time on comes Woody and the intensity and speed rises another gear. Woody is then taken off after about 20/25 minutes and Randell returns for the last quarter. The defence is now obviously tired but still he doesn't scoot or keep things lively.
I will say it again, he is not a bad player and earns his place in the team. But value for money is very questionable.
How do we know his value for money if we don`t know how much he is payed? I remember an interview with MC a few years back talking about how he had seen so much about a certain overseas player been over paid and not worth his salary yet he was nowhere near one of the top earners and certainly not what had been thrown about on here, it was all based on assumptions. At the end of the day only the club and the player themselves know for certain what there pay package and the rest is hear say.
At this point if Randell was out of contract at the end of the season along with Arona and we needed the quota spot I would probably rather keep Arona.
When it comes to Randell I wonder if Chester has ever thought about giving him a run in the halves? He has played quite a lot there throughout his career, from what I have seen he has good direction, good distribution and has a good long kicking game which is something we are lacking massively!
