Hence he overloads the centre of defence. Fuchs has been a good addition but we need more alongside him to genuinely start to improve that part of the team. The problem is we have nae money.

Solution? Seigrist MUST be sold.

Benji is proving to be an outstanding keeper, displaying that again yesterday. BUT, we have a more than capable back up in Deniz and if there is one part of a team that is easier to replace then it is in the goal. Right now what resources we can get are needed in other parts of the pitch as a priority and, IMHO, this is the way to do it.
Started posting similar re Benji last night but wasn't brave enough to hit the send button.ol.

We have a £1m plus goalkeeper there that can maybe in the near future afford to get us 3 or 4 players that can improve us.

He's a vg goalkeeper but like you say he's plays in a position on the pitch that is most expendable.

Depending on the length of his contract it would be best if we sold him in the summer to probably get the most value out of the transfer market but we might not have the luxury of waiting.
