Really feel like we will regret letting Sviatchenko go, there's a really good defender in him imo. Gutted.

Not enough pace. Reads the game well but there are better defenders out there.

I don't think we can say on the one hand that we want the team to be strengthened, then on the other hand complain when some of the fringe players start being sold.
I don't think that Sviatchenko is a bad player, but he's no better than the players already here
To strengthen the team we need to bring in players who are better than we already have. They should be able to walk into the first team and make a difference. Keeping players who are taking a wage but will rarely play in the first team jus doesn't make a lot of sense in my opinion.

Erik is a very likeable character was always positive about the club. He was fantastic under Deila but sadly when given the opportunity by BR he looked slow and more often than not was getting caught out. Nothing but respect and admiration for him with his statement today. Others have left with a chip on their shoulder, taken the huff and slated Scottish football. Eriks statement says a lot about him and that's why he was and always will be a likeble character to the fans. Good luck to him hope this seasons title win is the 1st of many at his new club.

Bang on there Gerry. He wouldn't get in the side. Best yo get some money back and get him of the wage bill. Our squad will need trimming to bring in the quality we all want. Similarly a mate was on about Henderson moving to Serie A and have we let a player through the net. He never put a foot wring really but at the same time didn't make the position his own. We've got to be ruthless. I wish Erik and Liam both the best of luck but we're looking to be better than Midtjylland and Parma.

The man that matters B R didn't fancy Eric and unfortunately that is that.

Totally agree. Prior to Ajer's emergence, I thought Sviatchenko was the best centre back at the club. If, as rumoured, Boyata gets a new deal, it will make this decision all the more unbelievable.

Spot on JimTim.

I posted before about Bitton, because I think he’s a good player and clearly loves the club. I’d be disappointed if he left because he wasn’t getting into the team but I also don’t think he’s as good as Ntcham brown or Armstrong. He’s one of those I wanted us to keep for when Ntcham inevitably moves on. However you just have to hope we have players of similar quality lined up instead of relying on players who can’t quite make the grade.
