It was mainly in jest tbf lad. The worrying thing is, can you actually say with your hand on heart that any of Keane, Zouma and Mina can organise a defence as well as Jagielka can (which, ironically, Jagielka isn't particularly good at either).

Probably not LAD lol
But I would have no confidence whatsoever with jags in our defensive. Disaster waiting to happen. Should never play again

So Silva was to keep him.

I’d go along with that myself.

So Zouma is Silvas man, are we seeing this again, I thought Brands bought the players now.

He does.

Im not sure the man who is 2 games away from the sack gets a say on which players we buy.

Just the way that article reads, that Silva always had him in mind and Silva decided he wanted him on the last day. Hopefully it was just compromise due to them bothe being new but I don't want the managers involved if we have a DoF, we seen what happened last time.

It is possible that they both rated him too...

Yeah, obviously it's possible, if not why's the manager picking players. If Brands is the guy, managers should get what they are given, isn't that the idea now to have continuity?

Apparently he’s an absolutely smashing lad around the training ground.

....which is a factor as long as he’s also a very good footballer. I like the lad.

Just keep getting glimpses of Joey Yobo from him. Not sure. Maybe the whole year has me down on nearly every player. Not a bad lad but.....

Him and Digne have a proper bromance so wouldn't want to break that up.

KaiserEFC · February 21, 2019

I like him and I hope we buy him

If we sign Zouma for £25m and Gomes for £25m, that's £50m down the drain, before we've even improved this God awful squad.

Scary thought.

I’d quite happily bank that £50m and spend it on players that will improve the team.

I like Zouma and currently think he is our best CB. Hoping Mina comes through OK but cannot really see Michael Keane getting any better pace or being able to turn faster anytime soon.

When you put it like that its very scary. However if we don't sign them we still need players so I suppose its whether they fit the system. Back in November both players were being praised you don't become bad over night.
