Think of the upside, less chance of Keane/Jagielka playing many games. Holgate will get game time - like previously stated by poster above, I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that Zouma/Mina slot in ahead of him every week.

Realistically he probably starts the season 4th choice with what we now have.

3rd.
Mina - Zouma - Holgate - Keane.
However, whilst Zouma is good, he's only on loan and i think the potential of Holgate is roughly the same as Zoumas.

The fact he has been given the number 2 shirt implies to me that he is seen as the long term answer. He will get plenty of game time once he is deemed fully fit.

Unless Silva is sending out a coded message. Number 2 is not complimentary.

I suspect he starts the season behind Keane in the pecking order. Be interesting to see where he ranks by the end.
For the first time in years I am happy we have a decent amount of centre backs available of a decent age and a good blend of styles.
Jagielka 36
Keane 25
Mina 23
Zouma 23
Holgate 21
Gibson 18
Feeney 19
That position could be sorted for the next decade.
Ideally I'd like Gibson/Feeney out of loan this year or next to get some experience. I really rate both of them.

I will weep tears of blood if Keane is ahead of him.

Funny how with Jags out Keane becomes the senior centre-back. I see him as the least likely to organise the defence. Hopefully the responsibility brings the best out of him.

Mason love, this is the biggest chance you'll get to make that position your own. If you poo up over the next few games you might not get the chance again, as Zooms and Mina could solidify a partnership, and then we could go after Zooms end of the season to try and make it permanent.
I really rate Morgan Feeney. If we're ever in a position to rest players, I'd love to see him given another bite of it.
Played well BUT
His defensive headers do my tits in.

Keene turns like an articulated wagon - the goal today he had a chance to hoof it tried to control it - a corner = goal
Mark hughes was sending speedy players on as he is a liability - Holgate was brilliant today .......
