Exactly Arbs.
Mael is no different to all the other centre backs we’ve had over recent years - he just needs patience.
I think we have another gold nugget here.
Big money sale in 2 or 3 years time.

And IMO - Lopata and Shepherd are not as good as Mael yet - but in time they will be.

BTW - I call him Mael because I can’t even say his last name never mind trying to spell it 😞😁
