As things currently stand, and given Moyes’s preferred line up (which I think he’ll retain next season regardless of who comes in at right back), we are one injury away from Keane starting every game at CB. One.
Mykolenko, Branthwaite...
At centreback and with the proviso that a few more players are coming in. The issue is that O’Brien is first choice right back as it stands which bumps Keane up a slot. We desperately need a starting right back or two
When haven’t we need to address multiple squad problems. Been the case for about 20 years mate. That’s the issue, constantly having to catch up with ourselves and this is yet another “that will do for now” thing.
It's concerning that it's Bascombe saying that. I can't conceive of a world in which both Michael Keane and Jack Harrison are still in the squad next year. Complete and utter dross.
