33 is past his prime?
You seem to think that every player in his 30s is just in a constant state of decline... which just isn't true.
If you want to keep him, and can afford to do it, don't risk him throwing a hissy fit after rollover and insisting on testing the FA waters.
His OVR isn't likely to improve, but his demands might change, which I guess isn't really the answer to the original question... but it sheds more light on factors that can go into making the decision the question was asking about.
