'I will be asking him does he want to stay with us or go? Obviously I would like him to stay because he has that rare commodity of being able to score goals.
'What I think Michael needs is more time to get on track for us and hopefully he will decide to take that time."
Allardyce also said his ambitions for the under-achieving club was to "win a trophy or qualify for Europe over the next few years".
