2018/19 Mason Holgate

[mightymoyes]

I could be wrong of course, and I get the sentiment, but I am just stating what I think Silva will do.

Perhaps I am just mentally preparing myself so that I am not disappointed.

I do think everyone deserves a clean slate...at least for about 15 minutes.

So you think Holgate will have to bide his time again? Wouldn't blame if he wanted out if Keane was selected ahead of him

The suggestion was a Holgate/Keane partnership.

We've been continually linked with various centre backs, think it's a given we're after 1 to go straight into starting 11

Probably. Mason is only 21 though. Can't see him rocking the boat...yet.

 

[Bluepablo]

I like him. I hope he gets a chance this season.

 

[gianthogweed]

He is better than Keane but that's hardly a glowing reference

 

[Nymzee]

If he isn’t first choice we suck.

 

[MACCA75]

People seem to be pinning their hopes on this boy. Not sure about him at all. 4th choice CB at best at start of the season I imagine.

You mean hes not the English Baresi?

Hope he is, but we deffo ain’t seen that as yet.

Baresi's a midget.

As long as he's not keane, jagielka or Williams is all we ask

 

[KaiserEFC]

You simply can’t play him next to Keane, asking a young lad to constantly bail him out would be cruel. Watching 700 yearold Phil Jagielka having to do the job of 2 centrebacks last season was bad enough

 

[Ste2018]

Strengthening the defence should be the priority. Need two new centre backs and a left back in my opinion.

Holgate and Keane should be backups.
Jagielka and Williams should be told to leave.

 

[Giraffe_Baker]

Put a leader alongside him who will lash his body in front of everything (Lascelles would be ideal) and watch him shine.

He's already shown much better performances than Keane has in every facet.
