Max Balard falls out of contract at NAC Breda at the end of next season so he may well be delisted at season's end unless they have him play Eerste Divisie for a year before he ends up becoming a free agent.

NAC may see Balard as a player they wish to keep on contract to play in a hope of a return to the top flight. Unless he is only contratced to Eredivisie and not Erste.

Duke presses well too, which is handy in some game scenarios.

I think Tete's big frame may help him press well too though without having seen more than hightlights.

I'd take Tete over Duke.

Not sure Tete has the engine to press for extended periods like Duke can At Machida anyway it appears his main instructions are to sit deep and attempt to block passing lanes to the number 6. The wingers do most of the pressing.

Duke combines well in transition with some beautiful passes (his through the legs pass to metcalf v saudi, also had key passes in the denmark and tunisa games)

Crazy that stesness is playing at a decent level but no where near the roos given how much depth cb has

I can think of some recent times Stensness would be a guaranteed squad member. It's feels slow going but our depth is improving.

I don't know if there should be much between Degenek, Geria, Trewin and Stensness on paper.

He is as slow as a carthorse, though. Time slows down every time he touches the ball. I suspect he exists near a very small black hole.

And he seems to have rule that he must pass the ball slowly sideways, with the ball travelling no more than ten metres.

Some might interpret this as unflappability. My read is limitedability.

Just did a bit of digging on Markus Walker and he hasn't played since December last year. I'll keep an eye out but don't plan to post until he's selected. May need a move, though he's only 19.

Markus got hurt during an U19's game in March. Can't confirm the nature of his injury, just that he has been unavailable.
