I'm willing to bet good money that the players would rather have Wootton in the team than out of it.

7 goals, 6 assists in 33 games (2645 minutes) meaning a goal contribution every 203 minutes. He wins more aerial duals than just about any of our other players, creates more chances than most our other players and is 2nd top scorer still at the club.

He presses defences in to mistakes, he brings other players in the team in to the game and he works harder than just about any other player we have.

If you can't see the value in that, then you don't understand football
