Kongolo was in the last Dutch training camp last month and just missed the cut for their nations league squad - www.football-oranje.com/netherlands-squad-confirmed-for-nations-league/He’s very much in koemans thinking. I hope he stays but professionally he’d be mad to play in the championship in a season that ends with the euros and a chance for him to make a squad who could go well in that tournament I reckon at best we’ll loan him out but more likely sell

Shop window and all that. Anyway... Semantics.

I agree but I still think he was better than Schindler last season. If they stay we will probably have a really solid defence that won't concede a lot of goals. This is my worry over Elphick, don't deny that he's a great player but at 30 plus he'll have lost half a yard of pace and their legs can go anytime and are more injury prone. In one on one situations with a pact striker he'll probably be skinned 9 times out of 10, although experienced defenders like Elphick can make up for that with positional sense. If we are generally signing up and coming players and losing some of our experience, we will likely need additional leadership and everything about his record suggests he has that in spades. Aslong as his legs haven't gone, which at 31 they shouldn't, and if Kongola goes we are lining up another mobile CB, I think he sounds at least a solid signing.

Josh Koroma, reece brown and Herbert Bockhorn will probably be our next signings I hope so. Herbert Bockhorn sounds like the kind of name you'd use to book into a cheap hotel with the sole intention of rattling your secretary.

Problem we have with Kongolo is even if he himself wants to leave, we'll want the bulk of what we paid for him. And after the season he just had, where IMO he looked average at best and pretty unimpressive overall, I can't see who the buyers at that price would be. We might have to look at doing what happened when we bought him. Loan him out for half a season and hope he really impresses whilst hes there to get the value back up again. Its alright saying hes a dutch international, which he is in that hes played for them, but doubt hes anywhere near the dutch managers thoughts right now. Flo is a swiss international..so not sure you can read everything into that. Form is temporary, class permanent slapps. Put him in a decent side that hasn't had it's heart and fight ripped out and he will look far better - he's one of the very few prem quality players we have and clubs will know that. He's also at a good age but lots of clubs will fancy some of our players at knockdown prices - circling like vultures if you like. The question for me is will we play hard ball with the billings, zankas, flo's etc if derisory bids are made knowing they want out.

Made his debut last week and coincided with their first ever win at international level.

Anybody take Izzy brown back? Hard to say all depends on Jans plans may have other players coming in. Izzy is just one for the list of possibilities.

So last Tuesday was Billing's birthday, don't remember seeing any happy birthday wishes from the club on Twitter as they usually do on a players birthday, I wonder why?

A) he possibly doesn't deserve it and B) they know the usual plebs (who need culling) would polute the comments like they usual do. As you know 😄

He has promotion under his belt, knows what it takes, chases down and could be influential helping some of the younger ones, which we may get. Free, just the wage part, as long as it isnt stupid money, then he is worth it.

Think kongolo will be left back if he stays Aye Left back in the Premier League. If he has international ambition, playing in the championship won’t do his Holland goals any good at all Leroy fer Darryl janmaat Patrick van aanholt all played internationally for Holland whilst in the championship.

That they did. At a time when Holland were absolutely shite and weren’t littered with upcoming stars. Compare that squad to what they have now, it’s a million miles apart.

doesn't matter who Kongolo plays for though he still won't get into the Dutch starting 11 ahead of De Ligt , Van Dijk and Blind with Ake and Van Anholt as cover for CH and LB best he could hope for is on the bench with the possibility of the odd game as a sub.

They weren't picking him when he was in the Prem so what difference will him being in a league lower make

They weren't picking him when he was in the Prem so what difference will him being in a league lower make I’m making a point that he has more chance to be picked playing in a premier league and doing well, rather than in the Championship. Given today’s Holland team are littered with top flight players, champions league players and ones coming off a win there too. Not a mediocre team as they were a few years back

Id be surprised if he made the training camp based on his form last season though.
