He will be lucky indeed to find a club that pays him what we do so don't hold your breath on this one.

Plenty of the bigger Italian clubs that would be interested in him would have no issue paying his wages

We also have an issue where 4 of the 5 haven't yet shown they can stay fit for more than a few months at a time all season / over a year. 

 

Think that's a bit harsh on JJ. He had a freak one off injury that was extremely severe and could have happened to anyone. Think it's a bit premature to write him off as injury prone. 

 

Only really Castagne and Ricardo that are significant problems out of the actual 4, no?

It's not unfair, it would be hugely presumptious for us to dismiss the seriousness of Justin's injury and that he'll be back to being immune from further injury like he seemed to be last season when he was played in almost every game as the relentless machine. Its not to discriminate against him as an injury prone player, its to ensure we don't get caught out as our injury issues have been beyond words.

Wormleighton > Yilmaz

 

Yilmaz is a left back

Our best full back. Would be sad to see him go.

We are overloaded at full back (when they are all fit). I like Castagne, but he is injury prone, and we might make some money off of him.

...for someone who came to fulfill a certain role, he has been pulled from pillar to post!!!

  Our uncertainty in who we look to play in the Fullbacks have not helped, so I am not going to blame him, from wanting to leave. He was a breath of fresh air when he came and I will be sorry to see him go. If we cannot guarantee him a position that he wishes to play then, good luck to him in his future endeavours.

Yeah we could move JJ to left back and promote Wormleighton to compete with Ricardo. 
 

Maybe there’s room for all of them though?

 

RB: Ricardo, Wormleighton

LB: JJ, Thomas, Yilmaz

I reckon what happens is largely contingent on whether we have European football next season.

 

If we do, there will be more games and therefore more rotation. We’ll be more likely able to keep players happy with regards to their game time.

 

No European football means less games, less rotation, and therefore more bemused squad members with regards to game time. A young player like Yilmaz is more likely to be happy with a lesser role than Timmy.

 

Not necessarily saying that Timmy wouldn’t start in our best XI, but it could apply to a few players who might want to play more regularly.

Wormleighton is a decent prospect but he's not ready to be a premier League player yet.

Still a better bet than our English lads.
 

They will have their time, but his experience and know how is invaluable. The young lads could do with his game management, particularly in injury time!

Would much rather he stayed. He's a known quantity, always gives 100% and has started to add a few goals and assists. Odds are whoever we replace him with won't be as good. We're hoping JJ can stay healthy, Ricardo hasn't been back at his POTY best yet but is slowly getting there and I'm not convinced Thomas will be anything more than a squad player, long-term. Still good depth but with question marks and looks a lot shallower if Timmy leaves. But if he wants to go, he goes.

Baffled at how many seem to think we’d be a better squad without Castagne.

 

For me, he’s our most complete FB - before Ricardo’s injury it would have been him but if we’re being honest he’s gone from being in the top 3 RB’s in the league to middle of the road and think other fans would say they have as dynamic FB’s as him now sadly.

 

Castagne’s best traits are his energy, defending 1 on 1 and football brain if ask me - his link up play with Praet/Youri at times last season was a joy to watch down the right.

 

Hopefully this is just all agent talk as at 26 he’s hitting his peak years.

With both his Belgian mates likely gone next season he may simply not enjoy being around as much.

A lot would probably not agree that if other players leave it affects others.  It really does have an impact.  Its your life away from football too.  The 3 Belgians do seem close and all have wives and families that no doubt socialise together and support one another.  It's such a shame if we do lose all 3 as the link up between them has been great and it wasn't that long ago that many were saying build the team around them.

 

I would absolutely not sell Timmy.

Given Ricardo probably won't be able to play 2 games a week for a full season, its highly unlikely we will use a youth player that hasn't played a single minute of first team football. If Castagne leaves, we will at least want to get what we paid for him and use that money to sign another full back. A natural left back would be ideal as we only have Thomas. Bertrand can get in the bin and Justin and Ricardo can rotate at right back.

I've not seen him kick a ball yet, but this is so obviously true. Very FT hysteria building...

And there's no guarantee his next club will have any Belgian players anyway.

Anyway, we may well have a new Belgian of our own at the club next season 👀
