That’s all well and good but I was only referring to how he was in his time with us

McNally has been utter garbage in a back 4 for Stoke
Kitching started more often than Binks for a reason… Binks had a few good cameos and looks tidier on the ball, but a better defender right now? Unlikely.We got fleeced for Kitching. Imagine how much better we would’ve been with Binks/Thomas/£4.5m midfielder than Kitching/Thomas/Ayari
Did we pay £4.5m upfront or is there a lot of performance incentives in there? More than likely, it’s the latter and if he meets those performance incentives, he’s probably been a good signing.Considering we've spent 4 million on one of League 1s best forwards, 4 million does seem a lot for a centre half from that League.

McNally was great for us and filled a Hyam sized hole. Had a couple of iffy games himself and hasn’t looked as good in a back 4 this year (tbf could be many reasons for that).
Thomas is a proper old school monster centre half. Better on the ball than McNally and has a big match personality. There’s work to do but I’d pick him every time over McNally.
Callum Doyle is class. Lets be honest we would all have him over Kitching
I mean old school because he still loves getting physical, loves an aerial battle, not afraid to tackle etc. He reminds me of the centre halves who were more common in the game in the 80s and 90s.Agree with most of this but how is Thomas an old school centre half? I’d say he’s your more modern centre half with the way he passes than ball etc, and if anything, is a bit too nice!
I do see the big match personality though - Thomas always appears relaxed!
We overpaid by a couple of million, unfortunately.Do you think? He was 23, Barnsley captain (who had just lost in the play-offs), and probably their most highly regarded player.
People are letting Binks performance in the semi final cloud their judgement. Very mediocre for the rest of the season and I’d be disappointed if we spent a sizeable fee on him this summer. Kitching the better player and worth sticking with IMO.
We all would have him , but it would take an amount of money we either don’t have or wouldn’t spend, we have to go with what we have and coach the silly mistakes out of them.Callum Doyle is class. Lets be honest we would all have him over Kitching

The more ‘modern’ equivalent centre back might not be as tall, might be quicker and less likely to tackle. Their game is more about positioning and avoiding any contact that could result in cards etc.
Big generalisations and to be honest. there’s always been a place for both types. But if you imagine a spectrum, Thomas sits on the old school side( for me anyway).
As for too nice. He plays with a smile on his face but if you give him the chance, he’ll clean you out without blinking.
Is Binks really better than Kitching on the ball? I think Kitching is a far better player all round despite a few mistakes towards the end of the season. I think he will be more consistent next season and may prove to be a very good signing.Kitching started more often than Binks for a reason… Binks had a few good cameos and looks tidier on the ball, but a better defender right now?

Yes but surely it's unrealistic to expect we could sign him? I would have thought Man City would want to loan him out to aPL team next year.Callum Doyle is class. Lets be honest we would all have him over Kitching
Probably Leicester unless they don’t want him to do 2 seasons at the same club ….Yes but surely it's unrealistic to expect we could sign him? I would have thought Man City would want to loan him out to aPL team next year.

When Binks came on for Kitching at Wembley, it was like having another player on the pitch.
Same profile /agent as Gustavo?@Winny the Bish , have you heard of this guy? - Levi Smans - Player profile 23/24
Bit of a random player, we interested? Just looked him up looks like of interest to Heerenveen@Winny the Bish , have you heard of this guy? - Levi Smans - Player profile 23/24
Not at all. Haven't spent any time looking at the Eerste Divisie after the Dylan Vente saga of last summer.@Winny the Bish , have you heard of this guy? - Levi Smans - Player profile 23/24

He's got a very complete statistical profile. Shooting, chance creation and defensive work numbers all high.
That his surname is Coulibaly. Still haunted by the Bournemouth players we got loaned to us in the Callum Wilson deal.Like the look of this lad as cheap competition for Sakamoto on the RW. Quick, tricky and his name is Lasso. What's not to love.
Any truth in the rumour we have accepted a bid from Fulham for Sheaf?
