00:00Rhys Ball, who says, do you think another centre-back will come in?
00:02Mookie Ealy seemingly a right-back who can cover centre-back.
00:05Or nine, Ballard and Aldereta are centre-back options.
00:08Assuming Sealt goes on loan and Triantis is sold, I feel we need one more centre-back.
00:12And I'm going to bring another question into this here from Howie2008, who says,
00:17do you think Sealt will go out on loan now a new centre-back has been signed?
00:22Well, obviously the Sealt thing might depend a little bit on his injury situation in terms of the severity of that.
00:26So that might be one to talk a little bit more about next week, maybe.
00:31But I think what I would say is that Sunland are definitely in the works of potentially sending Sealt out on loan.
00:37So there's been discussions, as I reported, I think a couple of weeks ago with NEC,
00:41which is obviously the Aerodivisie club that Sunland signed Robin Ruffs from.
00:44So it's definitely been in the back of the mind that Sealt has taken a massive step forward this pre-season,
00:49and yesterday underlined that.
00:50Sunland are looking at Sealt as a player with a long-term future at the club,
00:53who could be a player for them at this level.
00:55I don't know if there's any doubt about that.
00:57But I think they also feel like the best thing possibly at this stage is for them to go into a club
01:00where he's going to be a nailed-on starter every week.
01:03So I think there's still a chance that they sign another centre-back.
01:06I think, you know, you can see from the kind of profile play they've been looking at over the summer.
01:11If they could get one more in, and you then had Ballard, O9, Alderete, and another with Muki Elia off front cover,
01:18I think that's a pretty perfect situation.
01:20And I think if that happens, then Sealt will go out on loan.
01:22And I don't think it's nailed on, because I think with O9 coming back from injury,
01:26and I think with Sealt doing so well over the last few weeks,
01:29I think that this stance will kind of be, if we can get a top-level player to come in and boost what we already have, fantastic.
01:36If not, you don't need to go out and panic and just bring someone in for the sake of it,
01:39because actually Sealt's shown that you can thrive at the level.
01:42So for me, I think the main priority, if and when Muki Elia goes through, would be a winger.
01:48But in answer to the question, I do still think there is a chance that someone recruits centre-back,
01:52and if that happens, I would expect Sealt to go out on loan.
01:54But there's a lot of moving parts of that one, and Sealt's injury obviously adds to that quite complicated chain, if you like.
01:59So we'll wait and see on that one.
