    Well we are rather overrun with quality CBs at the moment so moving one of the many out does make a lot of sense. We can then sign another GK.

    Seems like Kabaele has signed a new contract. AL mentioned it in passing on his podcast/blog.

    Hopefully not a 4.5 year deal or anything that long, but I doubt we will have learnt from our mistakes. Turns 29 in February.

    Don't bet against it ! Or it will be just 2 years now but a 4 year to follow when that expires.
    Would Gino really be that Kabasele ?

    He sounds a lot more reasonable than Troy:

    “They explained to us that it was better to open the training centre, to prevent players from going to the parks or being unable to do real football work, to make our lives easier.

    “Personally, I feel safer there than when I go shopping. We are surrounded by people tested negative… the risks are limited in this phase 1.

    Nervy on the ball, who knows, he might be the one to miss out if Troost-Ekong comes in, but can we take a minute to appreciate his defensive display today? Absolutely rock solid

    I don't think we should release for international duty for two reasons, Covid restrictions and it would be too much of risk as he has been out injured for so long. He needs to stay under the supervision of the clubs medical and fitness team and as for 10 days Covid isolating that is a big no no IMO.

    All the more reason for him not to go on this occasion.

    I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t have to isolate for 10 days unless Belgium play a game in a red list country, and they don’t.

    Should retain, at the very least for backup, but possibly as a starter.

    Reckon Local Man might be our best option next to Sierralta next season tbf, WTE I doubt will quite be up to Prem football, and Cathcart might be a bit too old

    Don’t rate him personally. It feels like he does something stupid every game. He cost us about 10 goals per season in the PL.

    I used to do breakfast tennis at Goblin and pre school lessons for performance players.
    The only good thing was I could listen to Danny Baker on 5L driving to work!
    I won a t shirt once and my lesson heard me on the programme,it was about 'Two Way Stretch'. A fine film.

    Hopefullly kabs and sierralta are first choice CBs next season. I think that pairing is more than good enough for the Premier league.

    Lovely bloke but a car crash in the PL last time and I don't see why that will have changed.

    Sorry I don't agree, he is as good as if not better than Sierralta, though obviously they are at opposite ends of their careers.

    The guy does make at least one fatal error per game, they’re aren’t always punished of course but they often are. Reckon FS has the tools to make it, but we’ve yet to see how he stands up to the far more intense scrutiny of the PL, so we shouldn’t be getting ahead of ourselves too much regarding him yet either.

    Yup. Without taking the thread off topic I agree with this. I don't even think he was playing at his peak in the last 8 or so matches or matching the high standards he set initially.
