Richardson looks like the best answer so far. It’s going to help us a tonne to have proper specialists on both sides of the pitch
I agree. The wing back role has evolved beyond recognition. Back in the day a full back was someone who wasn’t quite good enough to play midfield or centre back and was seen as a position that could be filled by average players. The wing back is different. The best wing backs are often the teams most creative players. Look at Liverpool whose full backs provide a tonne of assists.
That’s an area we can definitely improve on. DKE doesn’t offer quality in the final third.
