With us now being down to one halfish fit left back and esquedina being out for a period of time , do we let him go this window ? id say no he covers to many postions in the squad esp left back , and one of the few central midfield players who does actually try and get into the oppostions box . |  |

Keep him.
Although he did look a bit rusty last night, not surprising though given how little game time he's had in midfield. |  |

I think you’re right. He’s surely our only alternative LB now.
Gutted for Esquerdinha. Hope it isn’t the worst case scenario. Losing two LBs to ACls would be hugely unlucky for the players as well as the club and the fans. |  | | |

Definitely keep him. |  |

Keep if we can. Maybe he’s desperate to go and be first choice somewhere. Maybe wants to be nearer family if they’re in the Midlands but there’s not much to be made financially from selling him, doubt the wages are massive and he’s clearly a good bloke.
Niko Hamelainen now plays in the Norwegian second tier if we are looking for a replacement. |  | | |

Yep, if he's happy, I would say retain him here as an important team player. Good, solid, versatile footballer imho. I wouldn't imagine he'd want to play regular League One football with Oxford next season. | | | |

Until the injury, it sounded like he was on his way out. I guess his salary would release funds for others.
Now I’m not sure what we plan to do. I know he can cover LB but against a pacy winger, he really struggles.
Maybe we have someone else lined up before next week. |  |

I struggle to understand why we're even contemplating letting him go! We should be fighting tooth and nail to keep him with us - players like him are like gold dust; committed to the cause, never gives less than 100%, never bitches and moans about not being an automatic first choice pick, which he'd be more than entitled to do giving how many times he's singlehandedly rescued the team over the years.
As Clive has said on more than one occasion, you let players like that go at your peril. | | | |

Exactly , given that the manager quite rightly often talks about consistency then over the last 3/4 seasons then Sam has easily been in the top 3 or 4 best players for that trait .
He also appears to be a real team player & should probably have been given more game time this season . | | | |

If only he could be coached to make a few more risky/forward passes, he'd be a hands-down starter. I wonder how Sam sees this. |  |

As someone said online recently, selling Field feels incredibly hubristic. |  |

What you've all forgotten, is that Jake Clarke Salter can fill in at left back.

Ideally you keep Field, good pro and reliable. We are short of these player types but...we need to sell so I suppose it will depend on how much. We have cover in Morgan/Varane/Madsen/Hayden and Edwards can play her also. I'd be sad to see him go but perhaps we might need to. | | | |

Given his age, what would we get for Sam Field? £2m max?
Sell Varane for £4-5m instead. Play Field, Hayden as back up. If the sale provides any funds after covering transfer fees committed to/amortised, focus on finding a developmental prospect to cover Madsen.
There is no “need” to sell Field or much logical sense in doing so. |  | | |
