We should definetely keep Klich. Sometimes if a player hasn't worked it's the club, not the player. He obviously has talent.

14 games i Eredivisie, 1 goal and 2 assist according to WhoScored. 84% succesful passes and an average rating 7.00 (compared with an average rating at 5.90 at the 4 league games he played for us).

I know you can't compare players like this, but average rating of 7.00 is strong. If you look at our squad, only Borthwick-Jackson (1 league game, so not coutning), Pontus and Tom Pearce (5 league games) have better average rating this season. Other CMs: Forshaw 6.95, Phillips 6.88, Vieira 6.69 and O'Kane 6.57.

So yes, maybe we should give him another chance. It seems like Klich mainly have played box-to-box in a central trio for Utrecht, so if we go 4-3-3 he might prove himself a great player!

Easily his best game for us was at Burnley, a Prem League team, in others he just didn't get involved enough, like it was all too hectic for him. No doubting he's classy but he needs more to cut it in this dog of a division IMHO.

Luke Ayling on Kyle Bartley: "I speak to him every day. I am going away with him twice this summer (to Vegas and Marbella). I'll be in his ear, don't you worry about that, trying to get him back."

Appears Cibicki is one of the first to go, Legia Warsaw.

Welcome to the forum! It crossed my mind that Carvahal might be in the running to replace Heck (although it seems increasingly unlikely he'll leave now). Experience with getting a comparable club (fanbase, size, history, budget, location) into the play-offs.
