Nobody was close to Ledley... period!And Vertoghen was much closer to King on that spectrum too

He was definately our best defender whenever he played.I love the 'new player bias'
Danso has probably exceeded all our expectations in ability and solidity since joining. You keep him solely for that reason. He's a proven player..
It's no more than hope at the moment, that the new guys perform similarly
Plus it keeps together at least one partnership that we know works.
We have two to sell anyway....let's just get on with that.
Well at the moment he is our best defender.Why he will be our 6th best CB.
Managers say a lot of things for a lot of reasons. I don't think he will be going either, and everyone sees the things he does well - he's quick and good dribbling with the ball. But defensively he fudges up a lot, sometimes his speed makes up for it other times not but his defensive intelligence is not particularly good. That can improve of course, he is still relatively young....
The homegrown part could be an issue in regards to loaning him out, but I don't know the ins and outs of the rules well enough TBF. He would get game time for us next season too, but not as much as he would being loaned out. Guess it depends how he does in pre season and how impressed our coaching staff are.Agree re: Vuskovic, I would be looking for a very competitive loan for him personally, just to develop for one more season. I hate having to sell Romero and think that yes, you're right, he is absolutely a marked man in the Prem meaning it is over for him here in all reality...

Agreed on Romero, I think he's absolute quality, but I also have doubts about his motivation and reliability. Which probably makes it a good time to move him on.
