Maybe Brice is leaving, but I agree, it would be good for him to have proper competition for his place.He is definitely here as a number 2 to start with, I am not sure why people think otherwise? Any fee we get for Samba won't replace his quality & the amount of points he would win us.
Here is genuine competition for Samba. We know Samba is quality above this level but he can switch off - even if it's competition to keep his levels high in training it is worth it's wages. Best case scenario he turs out better than Samba and takes his place.
I hadn't really heard of him prior to today but based on watching videos he is very controlled in his goalkeeping. It looks like a lot of clubs have watched him for a long time.
It reminds me of De Vries / Darlow, you knew Darlow would eventually leave but you had a backup that could potentially turn out to be better. He is still only young for a GK.
