My feeling is that he'll start the season at left back.
McInnes will wait until the last week of August to see if we can get Max Lowe back.
If, as I suspect that won't happen, he'll loan another youngish, attack-minded left back from the Championship in England.
So Considine for the "European run" (no laughing!) and the first league cup tie and the first 4 or 5 league games - what a thought!
