Sounds like an upgrade for Carlo at the cost of a downgrade for the future of the club IMO.
Another way to view it if Mina does actually want to leave, then it’s brining in a much better player, thus solidifying the defence and helping us move up the table to attract better players.
We’d still have
Keane 28
Holgate 24
Godfrey 23
Branthwaite 19*
Defence average age will go from 24 to 24.8 not a huge shift really.
*19 at the start of the season
