I make that six right backs. Meanwhile we only have one player that ever scores, and he's injured.
Bruce is an imbecile.
Agreed 100%. Opens us Wynness and Round to ridicule for tolerating this signing.
Surely James Bree, signed in Jan by Bruce and De Last signed last summer are suited to both right back and rwb if required. That is more than sufficient not to mind Hutton, Richards,.Bacuna of which we may want to move them all on but that isn't likely to happen.
At right wing, (442, 433) we have Green and Adamoah who are probably as strong as any other duo in the division. Again, no need to strengthen here.
Yet at left back, we appear to only have one option, Neil Taylor. Nathan Baker does not resemble a professional footballer at either left centre back (as part of a 3), left back or left wing back. If we need a squad filler signing like Elmo, it should have been on the other flank to cover Taylor.
All things considered this signing is consistent with Steve Bruce's efforts thus far, clueless.
