A player that splits opinion with Swans fans. I don't think the Journo saying our defensive record is "up there with the best" has taken into account the 8 goals we've shipped in our last 2 aways. Personally, I can't see WHU making a move. If they did want to strengthen their defence and came knocking at SA1 they'd be looking at Welsh surely ?

Cabango is a steady eddie, he can be good and can sometimes slip up, I don't know if its confidence, complacency or concentration, centre half is one of those positions on the field though, its a tough gig in general for most centre half's. |  | | |

Tend to agree.
He's a solid Championship centre half. Good at the physical stuff and a decent man marker. There are question marks over his ability with the ball at feet which for me makes him third choice for us with everyone fit, but if he was the complete package he'd have been gone ages ago. |  |

Agreed. There is always one player many choose to single out for criticism, currently it seems to be Cabango. He is far from perfect and does make mistakes and as a defender they are magnified, but he is not as bad a people make out. Forwards get away with mistakes, defenders don't. | | | |

It's since he lost his driving licence. Having to walk to QPR and Portsmouth tired him out! |  | | |

Just for the avoidance of doubt I wasn't posting this article as criticism of Cabango nor blaming him for the 8 goals shipped, (he was maybe solely responsible for one of them on Tuesday) but the defence as a whole was very poor at QPR and Portsmouth. More the journo saying WHU were interested in him under Nuno and may come in again in Jan. My point being he's not our best CB and I'd agree with you he is decent Championship standard whereas I think Welsh would comfortably make the step up based on what we've seen so far and probably Lissah given time. So if WHU are looking to bounce straight back up why are they in the market for a standard EFL CB when there are better options available? [Post edited 7 Nov 12:48]

Fair points, I guess it was my fault for pointing out Cabango, I agree with you about him not being solely being responsible for the 8 goals we shipped, the rest of the defence and the middle of the park and our poor press need to accept responsibility as well, not picking up players waltzing through us in numbers, left the defence overloaded. | | | |

We’d miss Cabango if he left, unless we brought in someone similar, which would defeat the point.
I completely get the calls for Welsh and Lissah, but I think it’s overkill if Eustaquio is playing. There’s certainly an argument for it when he’s not available.
We’d only have one physical centre back in the squad. It’s an open invitation to play direct and for set pieces against us. | | | |

As it stands at meat until the end of the season there’s a possibility the Swans wouldn’t miss him that much. However, having seen Seelt I think Ben is a better all round player. He has a big responsibility on his shoulders too. He can be magnificent at times but it’s always about consistency.
Obviously this is just an opinion piece without foundation (West Ham were not that interested in the summer) but if the Swans intend to sell him now is the time. I think a lot will want him to leave. Those that judge a player on what he does worst, not best, and with that negative Swansea eye we hear and read a lot won’t be bothered. |  |

Not creative enough for me. Gets to the halfway line with the ball, stops and looks to pass backwards or sideways. Slows down play with his lack of attacking intent. | | | |

yet against West Ham he dribbled the ball out of our half up to the West Ham penalty area | |

I don’t think there would be “a lot who would want him to leave”. He is a solid Championship level player. He has improved somewhat since his early days but not really developed into an exceptional talent. It could be argued that he should not be a starter for us at the moment based on recent performances. But he is a really good quality centre back at this level
West Ham paid around £40 million for Max Kilman, if negotiations started around that figure then maybe there would be “quite a lot” in favour |  | | |

I was watching a stream last week and one of the commentators (could well have been Portsmouth) described Cabango as a thug and said that even team needs one. | | | |

Yes it was a Portsmouth fan - I've never seen Ben that way at all though personally - he has never struck me as a dirty player just a typically imposing strong CB. I don't recall him getting many yellows and no reds and a quick look at the stats says he's only got 8 yellows in his career. Phil Parkinson would obviously disagree on the 0 reds of course !  | |

I wish he had been more "thuggish" when he got outmuscled by Waddingham against Portsmouth.
He's our most physical player in the squad but that, plus his surprising stat of only having won 54% of his aerial duels, showed he's really only of average physicality in this league. | | | |

I think he's a reliable player for this league, and I always love seeing an academy product start. But I really want to see Welsh and Lissah starting, just to bring back that hunger in his game—so he feels that pressure of potentially warming the bench. I think that's what he needs: that extra motivation of knowing he could lose his spot to push his performance back up. I feel like he's always taken being a regular starter for granted, especially with the captaincy. That said, I wouldn't want him to leave; he's good for the club |  |
