Absolutely...

- solid at CB
- useful at RB
- young with potential to improve
- adds pace to backline
- has worked well with other defenders this season

If we could keep hold of Happe, sign Akinola and extend Turley for another season that's the central defence sorted nice and early.

Get two new RBs, a new LB then that's defence done.

Only reason not to would be unrealistic wage expectations. Great player for L2 and L1.

Other than that it's about what his expectation of level is? He may have clubs sniffing from league 1 or championship development?

Think he’s a lower league journeyman but absolutely sign him. still young enough to improve and is versatile. Probably won’t demand massive wages either.

I doubt he will sign for us, unless no League 1 clubs make him an offer.
IF we can get Turley,and Happe signed up, along with Thompson, we'll have a decent defence.

I don’t think he’s gonna break into the West Ham team so hopefully he will sign for us.
I think he’s better at CB rather than RB .

Happe has been pretty poor this season too. Funny how Akinola "won't want to sign for us" because of Ling, who has been fine recently, but he'll accept being dropped for Happe to come straight back into the team.

The players know. You can see from the decisions they make on the pitch.

Define “fine”. The whole defence has been sh*t for 2 years.
