One final note. TGH is arguably the closest thing we have to a wing back in our first team squad. He's not really an out and out full back yet he's played more games for us wide at all levels than he has centrally. Again though, we don't play with wing backs.
Sensible comments. I just always see 4th choice centre half as makeshift rather than a decent option. As I say, when Bryan returns that’s the 5th option.

Ajayi was our second best player under Bilic promotion season IMO. Clarke is a good defender but I wouldn’t sign him and remove either O’Shea or Ajayi - only to then not have a backup attacking mid. If swift gets injured there is no backup number 10.
