He's a good player who never lets us down but i don't see the leadership qualities that Broonie has.

I had just been thinking of a new contract and it occurred to me that he might be a fit for replacing Broonie in the middle.
nobody has the leadership qualities of Broony!HHHe's a good player who never lets us down but i don't see the leadership qualities that Broonie has.

yep offer him a contract and then refuse to pick or play him just like SinclairOffer big Nir a contract,fine player,great atitude!
I say it all the time - sititng deep, big Nir has the rarest of abilities to turn defence into attack in a blink - perfect for our pacey front players. but he needs a 'Broon' in there doing the spadework for him; Vic Wanyama will be that man when we get him back in January.
Bit early to talk about successor without consulting Broonie. He just keeps proving his value and has entered new territory in how long you can play at the top, football has changed with sports science so let Broonie call a halt himself before eyeing up his kit. From men leaders emerge spontanuesly. HHWhat about using Nir Bitton as a successor to Broonie. Is a natural defensive midfielder with great passing ability and long range goals, wants to be at the club and is only 27 (I think). I think he is a better option than from what I have seen of Kouassi

Yep a good apprentice bides his time until he has gleaned all he can from his tradesman and then only does he take up the mantle of journeyman, a captain will emerge from within, still tricks to be taught.Good point, boab1916. There will come a time when this needs to be addressed, but that time is neither now nor anytime this season. Broony is a rock.
Sorry Boab. I am old enough to know that we cannot defy gravity. Broonie is going to be of less value game by game as we move into the future. We would be wise to consider options and not wait for him to drop his standards. We need to plan now for a successor.Bit early to talk about successor without consulting Broonie.
