It's an interesting one, my biggest concern with him is his ability to stay on the park and I wouldn't be surprised if that was what the club was worried about too. I am pretty confident they know he's a different type of character, I think their view might be that given how hard he has clearly worked for all seasons aside from 2017, irrespective of his off field silliness, he's probably about all we need or can cope with in terms of "special needs" management - hence the clean out of the rest of them. The point being I doubt the off field Libba is the club's worry.
Honestly, I'm not confident his knees can hold up and he can stay on the park. It's a real pity he pissed away 2017, it might turn out to be his last crack at a healthy season. I hope I'm wrong, he's vital in our midfield as he frees up everyone else to play their more natural games.
