It's a position we have struggled to develop over the years and clearly one that is being focused on. And it works. Remember when we struggled (pre Bridge) to secure any sort of left back from the youth set up. Since they focused on that area we have had Bale, Shaw, Targett and McQueen develop in that role. Not a bad production line at all.
 
I threshing line-up for the under 23's this evening.

A back four of Valery, Martina, Gardos and McQueen.

I remember when we bought Martina it was as a utility man that can play across the back four. Perhaps Puel is seeing if he is any good at CB.

Judging from his positional sense and understand of the game when he has played at RB I can't see him ever being good enough at CB.
 
Yes if we weren't in a final and in desperate need of points they might take a chance on him. Maybe when we are 4-0 up against United they'll bring him on. :rolleyes:
He is just back from a big injury. He needs time to get back to his best.
