I’d strongly agree with that.

And yet I’ve seen posts on message boards saying that they wanted him to be loaned out during this window.
Honestly - are some people watching a different Barnsley team to what I am ???
I think Mael is decent. Not as bad as some people seem to think but then also not as over the top with him as some seem. I guess I’m on the fence still a bit with him. He’s neat and tidy on the ball, some would even say slightly flash for a centre back, but he’s not quite as dominant in both boxes as I’d want. And he seems to have daft moment or 2. As others have said though, hopefully Pines and Earl can help with that.

I think you are probably right in that he’ll be another name added to the fairly lengthy list of centre backs we’ve turned a healthy profit on.
