Why are we even looking at Royale when we have Cissé joining us in a couple of weeks time

Because Cissé doesn't play right-back?


Erm..perhaps he does at least every time I've seen him. He can also cover right centre half.

Here you go, Dave..



I mean...that's a video of clips of a man playing at centre-back?



or how Micah Richards positioned himself at right back

To be fair I think they generally played him on the right of a 3 so he's sort of halfway between you both.

Yeah, just looked at a few of their line-ups and it is often a 3 at the back.

Given that we’ve been heavily linked with Paqueta before, I’m speculating that we’ve been tracking him at Flanengo, and Emerson Royal has stood out.

I thought he was pretty rubbish tonight.

As I said after the first Brazil game, a cheeky 8m bid for Bruno Guimarães. Paqueta should be half that.

There’s space in the squad for a ‘he’s better than Garcia’ role. It’s a pretty low bar.

I wouldn't mind the Ghana right back that has Gordon in his pocket the other night.

Both Ghanaian fullbacks were pretty handy, actually.

The Ghanaian work rate and discipline was phenomenal. Just the sort we need.

Ghana seemed to bully England physically which doesn't happen too often.
