Right then - I love Azza, he's been with us through thick and thin, for a long time, and seems very loyal to the club. He's had patches of brilliance and patches of "meh" - but there haven't been many occasions when he's been genuinely dreadful. Above all, he's always appeared to give a damn, and been putting his full effort in.
But... it's becoming increasingly evident at this stage in his career that he doesn't pose much of an attacking threat any more. He's still getting appearances though, because his tracking back to nullify threats on the flank is superb. In fact, I think he's defined a novel position on the field, and Football Manager may need to add "Defensive Winger" into the mix...
So, we have a winger that's actually more gifted defensively now than in attack.
Meanwhile, at Right Back...
Kyle1 is out for a while after surgery.
Kyle2 is injured.
Eric is a CB.
Aaron Lennon at RB anyone? A reverse Bale transition?
I dunno, I'm not saying this is definitely a good idea - but thought worthy of a conversation on teh interwebz at least.
