Jonathan David should stay in France another year before making his big move - which he'll get because he's a serious prospect. On the Botman stuff, I was a bit wary earlier in the season (having watched him for Jong Ajax, you could tell he was going to be a good player and I was surprised when Ajax cashed in on him fairly cheaply without integrating him into the side for at least a season - had they done so they probably get double or triple the fee) due to the lack of data from a decent league, but he's looking a serious prospect now. A bit of a beast.
I liked Caleta-Car and still do but his head has been in the toilet since he didn't get the move to us, he's only had one match in the last 8 where he hasn't been booked or sent off. It's definitely not indicative of his game, because he hadn't been booked all season prior to that. He just looks a yard off and doesn't seem to be completely engaged with the project. Which is easy to understand given he was one of the players who was confronted at the training ground by angry, violent fans and then he was given the hope of a move to us before having it snatched away late on. He needs to concentrate on recovering his form and discipline or he'll end up somewhere like West Ham, a place he turned down in the past to get a better move. When he's on it he's excellent, a real swashbuckling, all action defender, but post-January he's verged on liability status. I'd be interested to see if his poor form could be leveraged to get him really cheaply by someone, because he's a Ł40m+ CB when he's on it.
