He certainly looks a unit with good physicality… Just what we are looking for.

Only possible downside from his highlight reel is how much he goes to ground as Pavilionaire mentions.

Potentially a fantastic signing

Apparently villa also in for him so makes it unlikely would choose us
Without Champions League football, I just don't believe that their finances are that healthy. They have a big squad currently, it may well be that they have to sell before they buy which would give us the advantage.

But two new centre backs this summer would indicate that at least two from Cashin, Igor and Webster might depart (on loan or permanent). The later would only be jettisoned for fitness reasons one would imagine but not having a settled back line is the primary reason for us missing out on Europe in my opinion. Webster's form and leadership has been outstanding but his niggling injuries are so frustrating. Our defence was generally poor this season as it seemed to change from match to match. We conceded the most goals in the top 13, 15 more than Everton!

If two defenders are on their way out, then it’s highly likely to be Cashin (loan) and Igor (transfer). There’s no way Webster will be going - he was class the second half of this season, and his presence in and around the team is also important.

Unless West Ham offer £20m for him, given he's only got one year left on his contract... He may decide himself that a bumper 4-5 year contract there might be preferable to staying with us.

When asked, a musical group that loves performing songs without any instruments said they were delighted we were in for A COPPOLA.

I think we’ll try to extend webster’s contract and sell Igor. Let Cashin go out on loan to a just promoted Premier League club or good Championship team and get this Coppola in.
Get a right back in too and job done for defenders. I assume Lamptey will leave.
That’s what I would do, although I think we really need another LB too (unless we see Ferdi as that).

You are assuming that a Premier League club would want him.....we've seen him play remember, he's pants, not even Championship level. Fails the sight test of ability, speed and height massively. Sorry.

Classic NSC. This from a cameo debut in a team on the ropes and a thrashing already in full swing? Most of our best players looked Championship level at best in that game.
