Disley is a top bloke and he has served us flawlessly over the last 3 or 4 years. He's good for ten goals a season from midfield, is surprisingly good in the air, always gives his all and is appreciated by me at least. He is 33 and perhaps slowing down a bit but he can contribute as much as anyone over the course of the season. Perhaps playing Sat - Tue - Sat is asking a bit much nowadays, considering his position in central midfield but when he plays he is always likely to pop up with a goal.

If we made him available for transfer I'd be very surprised if there wasn't a queue of clubs wanting him , a few league clubs in that queue I reckon too .

As i posted on here the other day , how will we replace Disley's Goals?
This is right. Disley is the only midfielder we have who can time a run into the box. He has his faults but his ability to appear unmarked in the area is a real asset especially when our strikers are unreliable. I suppose as he gets older it gets more difficult to make those runs but he's surely not finished as a player yet.

That surprises me, fair enough. But he gets more than his fair share.

Nothing wrong with Disley IMO he is still a good player that maybe has not reached his peak in fitness yet this season, plus the signing of Clay and Brown have somewhat lifted the bar performance wise to a higher level which is good for competition.the thing is out of Brown, Clay, Paddy and Disley Dis is by far the best goal scorer and header of the ball

I think Dis is an integral part of the squad and gives us different playing options to our other mid-fielders. With a mid-field choice of Dis, Clay, Paddy and Brown we can set-up the middle of the park for all situations. Dis can be used to slow and control the game when we are in a leading position towards the end of a game. He still has a role going forward if we have Brown or Clay covering behind him.

For me we seem to play quicker when he's not on the pitch, he slows the passing down and allows the oppositions defence to organise themselves.
That and I think Clay has surprised everyone he was shocking in preseason and he's played out his skin since the regular season has arrived
I agree with this. when we counter attack and the ball goes through Disley the attack seems to slow down taking the impetus out of our attack. I think he's a good replacement and good back up but he have better players to start the game, when fit, at the minute.

Still got a great role to play. Especially with recent injuries/illnesses to other CMs. Pops up with vital goals every now and then.
