Glad his quest for guaranteed first team football this season had the fairytale ending...
Thing is no one should be a nailed in starter, it is performances in training and games that determine who should play.well he wants to be a starter so can't see him coming here/us still interested in him

All this really says to me, if true, is that Tosin does not have either have the fight to do this or confidence that he is better than Romero or VDV
Does he want to be a *guaranteed* starter, or is he just not interested in signing for a team that already has two better CBs than him? My guess is the latter and he just doesn't believe he's better than Romero and VDV. Which is almost certainly true.Thing is no one should be a nailed in starter, it is performances in training and games that determine who should play.

Sorry but i have to disagree. I see a fair bit of him and although overall he's a decent defender, his short passing just isn't good enough to play for us. His long, right to left pings are decent - but we don't play like that.Encouraging to see that we're looking at Tosin IMO, doesn't get much better as a "free" HG signing to round out what was one of our weakest positions just 12 months ago.
I get the argument for Phillips/Dorrington, but with hopefully more competitions next season, I'd be extremely confident in the four of Romero, Van de Ven, Dragusin, and Tosin. Seems all those players back themselves and will fight it out for time on the pitch
It’s a tricky one because the role of our full backs makes it a lot harder to get someone who can adequately cover LCB and LB. Most people we would be happy with covering Micky won’t be suited to playing as an attacking 10. So on paper Lloyd Kelly looks ideal - HG, on a free, decent LCB with experience at LB. But can he play udogie’s role and provide competition there? I doubt it.Makes no sense to me.
If we want another CB we should be targeting a left footer to provide balance. We saw how much of a difference it made when VdV was out and we played Dragusin instead of Davies.
Ideally we should bring in a LCB who can also cover LB, it will give us less work to do in the summer.
That stock pile, and total madness. Van de Van goes missing we are destitute. We need a specialist LCB, who can cover LB.If signing Tosin as 4th choice CB allows us to satisfy the HG issues and get in top quality attackers/midfielders from Europe, then it’s absolutely worth sacrificing getting a left footer for.
Something has to be a compromise eventually when squad building, this seems as good a compromise as you can make. Tosin is a very good player!
If he didn’t have such a dreadful injury history he’d be much more sensible choice. Unfortunately even on a free I don’t think he really makes logical sense. Tosin make 0 logical sense tho.Think Lloyd Kelly makes more sense, as can play LCB and LB, with Dragusin covering Romero. Then only need to worry about Porro deputy.
As I said above, do we really think Kelly can play as a LB for Ange? I struggle o think of anyone I think could cover both LCB and LB to high standard in our systemThink Lloyd Kelly makes more sense, as can play LCB and LB, with Dragusin covering Romero. Then only need to worry about Porro deputy.
