I know it was back in January but would we really be bidding £750,000 for a CB that wouldn’t be viewed as a starter? Yeah, it's a fair point. But we were desperate. This guy doesn't scream 'starter' at you, though, does he? Not if you had a blank canvas to create a play-off challenging team anyway. He doesn't seem to complement Wilmot's skill set (who we assume is going to start) What skill set! But no, you're right, it does seem more like a Wilmot replacement/understudy than a partner for him.

Tuanzebe will also be here next season I reckon You’d have thought he of all players would’ve needed pre season though, so he’d have been first in? Unless he’s assessing his options.

Was he injured post our 4-0 victory over them? Or just out of favour? He barely played after January, when he was clearly interested in joining us but they wouldn't let him...

Sensible deal length, squad depth, just makes sense really.

coventry havent even bothered confirming his departure yet! seems odd, its usual that buying and selling clubs confirm a sale together in this modern age makes no odds i suppose

Free transfer at a good age with a few years of Championship experience as a squad player/regular. Seems like he’ll be at least okay for us.
If he doesn’t compliment Wilmot then we still need to bring in someone who does.

Good news. Welcome Michael. Is he left footed centre back ? Does this signing allow us to take a chance on Tuanzebe?

Can’t ever remember seeing him play but looks like a canny bit of business given his decent career so far.

Tuanzebe is so good he's worth the risk on a reasonable wage but I wouldn't feel comfortable if he was 1 of 4 cbs, would probably mean we'd have to get an extra one for insurance.

If he doesn’t compliment Wilmot then we still need to bring in someone who does. I'd think him and Wilmot side by side would be a last resort. We need a first choice ball winner now.

It’s giving a bit of Liam Lindsay here… Aye a wee bit. Difference is we haven't wasted over £2m on him I guess... I'll be honest, can't say I've ever watched him play other than when it's been against us so can't judge.

Doesn't seem the dominant type. More a good-in-possession, good passer The forward passing accuracy seems eye catching on the face of it. That long passing accuracy is Can we see a return of the Shawcross'esque diagonals please?!...

Right footed but I would still take a chance on Tuanzebe Yes, seen he is right footed so unless we’re 5 at back he’s a squad player. We always struggle to get a left sided centre back and have been desperate for one a long time. Balance to the side. Gut feeling this will be a wasted signing.
