Yann did get a chance because he had no pace for the PL.Exactly. See also Yann who barely got one.

There is a bridge in London I'd like to sell you...Kelly is the best 1 on 1 defender we have.
So 3 first team regulars, I assume you mean lerma and zemura, who's the 3rd?My opinion is based purely on the fact he’s out of contract at the end of the season. Successful clubs are not build by continually allowing valuable assets to leave for free. If he won’t sign a new deal, which he won’t because he deserves better than the large moronic sections of our fan base who don’t recognise his obvious quality, then we should take the money and run. Reinvest it in another player on a long contract. Letting three first team regulars leave for free in the space of a year is criminal, and is exactly how NOT to run a sustainable top flight club. We’ve already suffered this season by having to invest circa £40m to replace our left back and centre mid, with no money coming in in return. And as a result we have had to neglect the area of the team that really needed addressing ie the attack. This cannot keep happening. Sign a new deal or sell are the only rational options.
Obviously KK is referring to Kelly if he goes next summer, you complete and utter plumSo 3 first team regulars, I assume you mean lerma and zemura, who's the 3rd?

Not sure they could have done much more re zemura, Lerma gave us 5 years, but you never rated him
Pace pace pace, no matter how many times you say it, it didn't turn Bolt into a footballer...
Kelly, the guy this thread is about.So 3 first team regulars, I assume you mean lerma and zemura, who's the 3rd?

You are totally missing the point, as you often do.lerma wanted silly money, JZ very poorly advised
weird how average players become world beaters as soon as they leave on frees
Pace is just one of many core physical attributes that can add to or detract from a players game. Senesi would be a better player if he was quicker, but him being slower doesn’t make him worse than Kelly overall. Pace can hide flaws, and a lack of pace can make players better in other areas to compensate.
I think I would sell him if Spurs were interested. A real shame, because imo he has all the fundamentals to be a top player. He’s a better player than Mings was at the time he was here imo, and Mings got “out of the rut of being here” and got into the England squad. The fans just haven’t taken to him for whatever reason, and I think this has slowly sapped him if his confidence.
I can 100% see him moving on and being fantastic. If we get a good fee for him then everybody wins.
He hasn't left yet, so its actually 2.Kelly, the guy this thread is about.
How long he have is is irrelevant, what is relevant is the fact that he was allowed to run his contract down and leave for free. When a player leaves for free you have to spend a chunk of the budget replacing him, and the areas that you really need to strengthen become neglected.
