I think Beto starts the season. Up to him to keep the shirt.
I have seen a couple of things linking him with Atlanta recently but having got rid of DCL I’d be surprised if we let Beto go
It went under the radar, but Lionel himself said he’d always thought he’d be a great DoF.
In an NME interview back in 1998 he was asked if he thought he’d be a success in a DoF role, given the chance.
“Of course” was his reply “Easy”.
Eager to see what his new salary is.
Will make sense either way I guess, getting someone in on a free would probably have cost more in wages I would hope/imagine.
It’s not spectacular, but it’s spectacularly sensible.
After the past ten years this is the sort of decision we need.
Why spend on an emergency backup 4th CB who can pull off the odd BLAMMO when we have a perfectly good one right there.
