I'm 65/35 in favour of taking him back. Ideally, I want a permanent CB but doubt we'll find better. He'll be permanent when we go up.

This pace argument is interesting, I very rarely remember him getting "done for pace" whilst he was with us. In fact, he had a great knack for recovery and covering for others. It was only exposed at Leicester because the defensive line was suicidally high and the team was useless. We might want to play higher up the pitch than when he was last here, but I can't see it being anywhere near the levels of what he was asked to do stupidly at Leicester when he signed. It’s not pace as such - he can get up to quite a gallop, hence the ability to chase across and cover - It’s quickness on the turn. Just by nature of his giant frame he’s a bit lumbering and can easily be caught by the ball over the top with a nippy forward accelerating away from him. I do think he’s a class defender in the right system - it just seems like we play precisely the wrong system for a player like him. Especially if you pair him with Gibson.

He is a top end Championship centre back, better than anyone we currently have on the staff. On loan so not impacting our transfer spend is a no-brainer

Class CB's with a brain in their head don't get caught out for pace.

Is this potential Souttar signing just fantasy?
If not, we'd be committing Hari-kari if we have a chance and don't go for it.
And he's clever enough that he doesn't need that acceleration so much. I remember reading a good analysis about him a while back.

I remember reading a good analysis about him a while back. It was Telegraph /Percy tweet couple of pages back Basically he's going out on loan, said Sheffield United and Stoke in for him Bound to be other clubs too

Goodnight.

Lol. Sales of Prozac have just shot up in the Potteries and surrounding areas after a number of crushing blows from local and national journalists, in the space of 2 hours on Monday morning.
One source was quoted as seeing two Stoke fans in pink "Zambrano" third kits running towards the canal...
🤣

We really need another (decent) centre half. Very worried about what's ahead.
