MK fans saying he's not much cop in the air. Has he scored all his goals from open play, anyone know? Saw one of his goals earlier, went on a run and stuck it in the bottom corner.

Couldn't care if he scores with his knee, thigh or backside as long as they go in.
Think MK fans are a touch bitter to be losing 10 goals a season plus an excellent young prospect
 
Franchise fans are f*cking tamping he’s come to us, makes the signing that little bit better 🤣

Hopefully it's a classic case of player leaving a club and a section of the support claiming 'he was rubbish anyway' to mask their disappointment at him leaving. God knows we've seen plenty of that around Planet Swans over the years. You could even say some of us fall victim to that when a manager leaves... :lol: :oops:

MK fans are all saying he is an absolutely fantastic player who is going to get even better. Haven't seen any of them slagging him off, but they do say his heading ability is the weak part of his game.

Yeah to be honest those figures on the tweet back up what they are saying. 6ft2 so not ridiculously short for a centre half but not a giant either, important we keep Cabango as we’ll be lacking in any sort of muscle at the back. The new lad Wood looks tall but of the Rhys Williams build imo.

Well in the video I've seen I think over half his 10 goals last season were with his swede.

The bread and butter is the balls that come into our box, but Big Benny Cabango will cover that…

Ben will (whisper quietly) be more dangerous at set piece too with someone else up there. Then again, it seems we can't keep the Grimester away from the set piece.

I hope to God that Martin doesn't see this fella as a replacement for Ben and we don't get Naughts, Darling, Manning. Is that possible...?

He's been raving about Ben and his improvement so I don't think so. Might see Naughton play LCB though and Darling in the centre?
 
Perhaps Martin sees Naughton - Cabango - Darling - Manning next season.

Probably get more in attack than the five thanks to Darling and Cabango too
 
Garrick will be well worth keeping on this season I think

I think he’ll keep Naughton in that pivot type role in the centre, or whatever it’s called. Darling to the left where he has licence to bring the ball out which he says is a big strength of his, Cabango started to aswell when his confidence grew towards end of season.
 
I'd expect Darling play as the left-sided centre-back, and I can't see Kyle Naughton returning to full-back after last season. I know there's been talk of wanting to switch it to a four at the back, but I see it as most likely being:

Cabango - Naughton - Darling

And as cover (with Manning's probably our starting option at left wing-back at the moment), with Latibeaudiere to be sold on.

B. Cooper - Wood - Manning
 
I know you shouldn't read too much into show reels, but I like his confidence coming forward with the ball from the back, and spraying long passes out to the wings. Let's hope we have a pair of pacey wing backs who can take advantage of them
