I'd keep him, but it is far from a obvious decision.
To get promotion next season we need a Jacobs (i.e. a lge 1 Merson) to build the team around giving us the creativity that has been lacking far too often. But can you build a team around someone with Jacobs injury record without creating a potential major problem ? Or are you better using the (substantial) money on signing a similar player that keeps fitter for longer ?
Is there even anyone available that fits that description? or do you gamble with the one you've got ?
Not easy being a manager making these sorts of decisions, especially when your job depends on it - which I think it does in this case. Certainly the choice of attacking midfield creator is up there with the choice of striker in determining the outcome of next season's campaign.
