Ciaron Brown appears to be our only player of current interest to other clubs

The last 23 year old centre back we released was Semi Ajayi who ended up being ok.

We didn't release Ajayi. Rotherham paid us a transfer fee.

Left footed centre-backs are VERY sought after at the moment.
Many clubs are playing out from the back more and more, and lots are utilising a back 3 as well.
Having a left footer and a right footer in there makes it a lot easier to play out, as the natural curvature of a pass from a left footer out to the left, or from a right footer out to the right makes it that little bit harder to press.
there was an article in the athletic about it last year sometime - it saves half a second or something that can be the difference between playing through the press or losing the ball.

It's probably why England took Mings to the euros, and why Man City spent a load of cash on Ake, despite both having plenty of better defenders they could have gone for.

Great post 👍🏻

Plausibile interest from Blackburrrn but reported on FLW which is an implausible source.
