DT Posted 30 June, 2011 Share Posted 30 June, 2011 I don't think so. Pace is an asset obviously, but experience and skill can count for so much more. Just look at Ryan Giggs. You're not allowed to look at Ryan Giggs. Or even say you might have tried to look at Ryan Giggs. Superinjection of pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Posted 30 June, 2011 Share Posted 30 June, 2011 how many left-backs is Adkins signed for us? Its not just left backs he hasn't signed. How many players is (sic) Adkins signed for us at all? Is it just Chaplow? But Nick gave us good advice the other day when he said don't believe rumours in the press. Still, entertaining to speculate though and if this was true I'd have to send my scepticism back to the bus station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fwiw only an idiot would play Riise there. a lot of players in that mould though, tough, hard midfield general type. I cant think of a single full back and i dont mean a "utility" ie, no one decent position but can do an average job a few, type player that would make a decent CM player. A few that can do a job there, Jack Cork being an example, but none that i would think would be as good in CM as they are at full back or visa versa if it was a CM playing full back.

Phil Neville made a second career out of it. I agree with your general point though. Let's sign a centre midfielder, if that's what we want, not a full back.

Once again having a differing view is deemed a crime it appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
