I’ll have that.Smalling has got used to being a starter again. Doubt he will want to go back to the occasional game from the bench.
I’m not sure how I’d feel about him starting for us again. I haven’t seen enough good things from any of his competitors to say he couldn’t tie a starting berth down.
If he can stay fit, which he normally does, he’s automatically better than Bailly, Jones and Tuanzebe.
And, I don’t think he is any worse than Lindelof, which I appreciate isn’t the best argument to play him but we have much bigger needs than a CB this summer, IMO, and the transfer funds should be concentrated on those areas
