Never rated Binks and couldn’t believe we signed him permanently, amazing to have turned a profit. Also means we will definitely bring in a replacement.

Lati is a better centre half and generally more versatile

If the payroll concern is because of his supposed massive wage it’s a myth isn’t it?

According to this we are selling him at a loss.

Can’t argue with it. Looked like he might be good for us but he wasn’t.

He's actually a reasonable defender at this level he just has the athleticism of an asthmatic pensioner which is why he's regularly caught out.

From when Binks signed permanently:
Coventry City are understood to have paid 'around €2million' to Bologna for Luis Binks, according to reports from Italy.

Was it weird? We've always liked our CB playing big diagonals to the wingers.
We wouldnt get that with a Right footer at LCB

No, I prefer an left footer at LCB. I just found it strange we had two LCBs in Kitching and Binks as they'll never be allowed to play at RCB. They're one position players essentially (Maybe LB).
If push comes to shove right footed CB will be put at LCB no problem.

Yes true.

the current is to have a leftie at lcb as it gives far better passing lanes

Yep, great “footballer”, poor defender all too often. Was comfortable on the ball, just everything lacking with his positioning and awareness at times it seemed.

One of MRs most baffling signings, he was never remarkable in his loan spell and we splooged a decent fee on him last summer
Only ever was given the time of day by some cause he clattered Fernandes at Wembley

He's more Dick Van Dyke than Virgil.

I don't get the logic.
You prefer a left footer at LCB but what if the only LCB gets injured? Why would you be happy to have a right footer play LCB but not a left footer play RCB?

He probably would have been a great signing for us the first season we got back into the Championship, but it just hasn't quite worked out for him. A shame because he is a good player for the most part.
Fair play to him going for another abroad move. I hope he can get some regular playing time and kick on in his career. He's moved around a lot so far and it doesn't feel like he's really sustained a place anywhere.
Enjoy the Danish pastries and women, Binksy.

It definitely wasn't baffling. He had all the markers and attributes to make a quality CB at this level but it just didn't work out.
His positioning, awareness and concentration needed a lot of refinement and if anything all three regressed rather than improved. I suspect some of that was confidence, but he never really adapted to the Championship.
Going to a league where it's less physical and slower paced will probably do him good.

Im sure we'll bring in at least a couple more players before the window shuts, but we can only name 25 in the squad, so off loading first makes sense.So Binks is off, Milan next so I have heard
Hopefully Bidwell and Collins will find other clubs soon.

Repetitive , tiresome and boring anti DK comment as usual.
Poor concentration and attention during games - always caught 2 yards behind play despite having the physical attributes to not be
it’s the truth I tell thee

Good player in a 3, when we could use him as the spare man with his distribution which was classy. Too soft, and nice though as a defender. I get the feeling he was probably a midfielder / forward as a youth, and has gravitated back to being a Defender. He was good at Luton last season until that inexplicable slice into his own net. Frank was never sold.
