Auston Trusty

IMHO I think overall they are both at about the same level. Decent center backs but not at CCV's level when he is fully fit. Facts are given the number of games we play assuming CCV stays for next season I would also keep Scales and Trusty and its Nawrocki I would sell and we look for a new center back to buy in the summer.

 

Trusty was signed to replace Starfelt after Nawrocki failed to meet expectations. Don't think it's fair to hold it against him that he's not at CCV's level (=our best centre half since VvD). Question is, do you think Trusty is better than Starfelt? I don't think he is tbh. The same goes for Scales. He's fairly decent though. I like his physical tools. Ball-playing ability is another story.

 

I agree! For me they're both grand squad players to fall back on or play in the less important games/see things out. We need a top-notch CB in alongside CCV, with these guys as the squad. I also think these 2 are progressing, so they'll (hopefully!) be better next season too... Use kids in the rest of the slots...

With KT/GT, CCV/Trusty/Scales/A.Nother, AJ/AR as our defence I think we're in decent enough shape... Won't hold against the best of the best, but not many we can afford will...

Shore up mids - CDM, winger, replace any who leave. Get in another clinical finisher. Don't lose too many key players... You know! Just the usual preseason clamour!

 

I would agree with that from what I have seen so far Starfelt is a better player then Trusty but Trusty is still a decent player and along with Scales are good solid players who along with CCV would make up 3 of the 4 main center backs we would need. I would hope we can sell both Nawrocki and Lagerbielke this summer and use the money we get to sign a center back for that fourth spot.
