I've got a lot of love and compassion for Syd.
There's a lot of similarities to Syd's childhood to that of Tyson Stengel, who was raised by his grandmother.
Syd's childhood was a lot more unsettled than Tyson's, having lived with a brother(s)?, a sister an aunty..........?
I hope Syd is given another year, I think the penny may have started to drop. If he is given another year, that would indicate that the club thinks he's maturing too.
The club has investing a lot into him, Syd leaving and then reaching his potential at another club would be gut-wrenching, Tyson Stengel comes to mind.
