just popping in to vent slight concern. £30m and hes played a game and a half in the FA cup

It was always going to be one of Reis or Khusanov to come in and partner Dias or Stones, both cannot play together. Too young, too inexperienced.

The primary reason he can't get a game is because Dias is a captain and our experienced CB so was going to play, and Khuzanov has come into the side and been the best defensive player we have had all season.

If anything Khuzanov is currently better than Dias, he us undroppable.

Khusanov would be in exactly the same position if injuries hadn’t forced his selection. We don’t have any more dead rubbers or pissovers so he’ll have to be content coming off the bench for a few minutes now and again. Much the same next season, maybe with the odd cup game, I would imagine, unless there’s a big cull.

Bloody hell, looked very composed against a shower of shite. Bit early to be making such bold predictions when the other new lad looks immense against Prem teams

1- He is always ready to get the ball & ready it to pass it around
2- Even though is is young & skinny, he won most of duels ( Ground & Aerial) against strong physical opponents.

When we played Plymouth I was amazed at the spring and his aerial strength, he often hung in the air, very impressive for a very slight lad.

Seen nothing to see that he will be anything but a top player for us in the future.
 
Saw some highlights of him playing for one of the youth teams v Palace, the same game Bobb played in. He looked the business. Confidently bringing the ball out of defence and made one superb tackle in the area. Excited for this kid
 
I hope he stays next season so he can improve his English and also gets used more to the squad as the number 4 CB behind gvardiol, Dias and Khusanov. With Ake and Akanji being potential backups of the fullbacks and Stones being injured all the time anyways there should be a chance. Girona is not possible until winter sadly .
 
Next season will see opportunity, I think, for Reis and Bah, as well as Khusanov and O'Reilly.

I think the plan with Bah is another loan. The initial reports were to keep him at Valladolid and then a prem loan if successful. That obviously all changed when the deal for Bah changed but had Lens lined up for a loan move. He’s still looked impressive but have to remember his meteoric rise from Sierra Leone is still very short lived and could do with more experience. That said I can’t wait to see more of Bah.

With Reis I find it odd how little we’ve seen of him especially with injuries to Stones/Ake/Akanji. If he was bought in to eventually replace one now is a perfect time to play as they are injured. Obviously Khusaniv has hit the ground running and is the priority of those two but still thought we’d see more of Reis of the bench. I hope they keep him around the squad

I think we need to secure a Champions League place before thinking about sending players out on loan, if we qualify we need a good squad, if not we can let a couple of youngsters out on loan
 
I believe the reason he came in January and didn't stay on loan at Palmeiras is City wanted him here so in the long run he would count as homegrown.

I think he will be with us next season and 2 of Akanji, Stones or Ake will leave.

True. Pep has always said anointing wanting a small squad as having multiple great players means they all want to play a lot. But this year he’s openly said we need a bigger squad with the extended calendar but also injuries.

I read somewhere that Bah has been told that there will be opportunities here, next season, because of expected departures. He is now playing consistent 90m matches and doing very well.

"I hope he stays next season so he can improve his English"

He already speaks better English than most English people.
