I wouldn’t be too fond of that, but there is a poster on here singing Bobby Ts praises who used to say Latibeaudiere was better on the ball, so maybe we have nothing to worry about?!

This is another important point. Getting someone in now means changing the defence combination again and we know how that worked out in the past!

1 game in and 2 weeks left of the transfer window, don’t be reaching for the mattress protector just yet!

Fucking hell 🤣

Of course I’ve noticed! So in that sense I don’t disagree. What he’s usually doing when this happens though is trying to be progressive / on occasions overly ambitious. I actually think now Grimes has come in, it’s kind of unnecessary to have centre backs that are that ambitious in progressing...

A “must sell” at that price then

Haha fuck. We’d be getting value for money because Hamer looks as heavy as two Bobby Thomas’s this season…

Yeah I’m not sure he’s worth 8 million either, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try and get 10 for him!

I 100% agree with the sale if it’s around 10 million for the reasons you explained. I’m unconvinced he suits how Lampard wants to play. People not understanding his attributes and why other teams may be interested in his services for the kind of sum being spoken about is my only issue!

But is he near the top for passes attempted and progressive passes?

Since when has Bobby Thomas become “not good on the ball” and why have three posters on the same page said this?!

Nah.

What if the first bid was 50 million?

I think his first touch is largely excellent. His distribution can be a little chaotic, but he makes an attempt at progressing the ball and makes a lot of passes - not going to get them all right!

I kind of feel like he was such a unique player in terms of his mix of attributes, we were never actually going to directly replace him. Also, he has an even bigger gut on him now.

Yep. People reeling out the trope “can’t pass” know nothing. That being said, I would accept that fee and re-invest. He is a little too laid back at times and for the money, I think we could get someone more suited to our high-line.

I still need convincing that Charlie Hughes is a much better option. Granted he is younger and gets stuck in, but Kitching is better with the ball at his feet and still has plenty of time to improve himself.

Are we looking to replace him?!

Do you think Kitching was a panic buy? I think he was one we were watching for a while and he’s generally been pretty good. Sure, there is room for improvement.
