:blush: Kuszcz.... someone who shall remain nameless deserves some of the credit as well!
Completely agree. He is a quality central defender at this level and ticks all the boxes off the pitch as well. We do need a top centre back to come in and complete the set but we are almost there. Left...
Sounds like speculation to me. We don't want that around here. :jester:
I think keep El-Abd, with the knowledge he'll be on the fringes. We need a new centre back as well, but for now we should keep him and sign a new centre back to be first choice with Greer as his partner. Cheaper to keep...
I think he makes a lot of sense as a player, but with FFP in mind as well, he makes perfect sense. And he cares, which is important.
There isn't much work to do on the squad, but the areas which do need work are crucial to get right.
To be honest, that was my reaction. I suspect that either we're investing heavily elsewhere in the team so need a cheap and reliable option to plug a centre back gap, or we're only wanting to spend on one centre back rather than two. Realistically, El-Abd and Greer are good enough at this level...
Boom boom!
The player mentioned his Merc in his profile in the programme last season, on the inside back cover. He allegedly went on to claim it would be announced within the next few days.
