@Mac: You can twist the words as you like, but his versatility means he’s good enough to play for Man Utd (not necessary as CB). Even as CB, I rate him more than Metresacker (that means Blind can play in the current Arsenal team). I rate him more than any of the current Liverpool CB’s.
If we are to buy a world class CB to play alongside Smalling then I’m afraid it should be Phil Jones we get rid. I hope we can use Phil Jones as make weight for John Stones.
