I agree. I like Friedel as he's been reliable and seems like he'd be a good character in the dressing room (something I think Harry was very good at developing at our club). However as you say, his age is only going to affect him at increasingly fast pace.
I think he'll hit a major brick wall in terms of form at some point soon and the last thing we can afford is for that to happen on say 1st Feb with no sensible back-up option for the rest of the season.
