A Laca contract extension is a hard one for me.
He's one of those players that blows hot and cold generally. If we were guaranteed to get the level of performance out of him he's put in the past 5-6 games for the next 18 months, It would be a no brainer. But's it's not a guarantee and history tells you he's probably going to go through another poor spell before the seasons over.
If he'd take a two year extension on slightly reduced wages I'd probably be good with that but I can't see him agreeing to those terms, which is understandable.
Overall I'd lean towards selling him in the summer.
He has impressed me a lot over the past month or so though. Definitely back in my good books.
