Carlisle fan here.
Looks very likely that he’s going to be joining you lot. As good as he was last season, he has really struggled this season. Not putting it down to uncertainty over contracts, he has just struggled with the increase in quality in League 1.Big lad, technically looks the part but has very little pace. Set pieces have been garbage this season to the point he’s been taken off them. If I used a recent match with Oxford as an example, he was up against McGuane and Brannagan and there was literally Galaxy’s in difference between them and him.
Genuinely no sour grapes, as a Carlisle lad I hope he does well for you but I will put a lot of money on him being sent out on loan next season if/when you get promoted because he isn’t Championship level in a million years unfortunately.
