Durante and Sigmund were great last season. Both players had their best seasons in a while. In saying that, I think we should have looked to bring in another centre back. We could be facing a situation next season or the one after where we have to bring in two new centre backs. Ideally, we would give a youngish player a year on the bench to develop. If we don't want to sign a young centre back and develop them then that means we are going to have to use visa spots on a centre back which would dminish our depth in midfield.
Boxall is getting more money in Pretoria which perhaps is enough of a reason, but he also gets to play regularly.
He was clearly aching for more game time, not keen to be waiting patiently "till his time comes" - at 27, you can't blame him.
