From our youth side who plays left centre half if Tosin is right footed?

At EDS there are only right footed ones aswell for the U18s it's Francis.
Dude we are not suppose to care. Mangala and Bony were bargains compared to what guys are going for these days.To add some perspective, we're (reportedly) struggling to get £15m for a **CB who (reportedly) cost us the thick end of £40m. Or £13m for a Premier-proven *** striker for whom we paid in the region of £28m.
In any other setting, this would represent economics of the mad-house. But hey, it's not our money.
**Mangala and ***Bony, if you didn't work it out.
That was then this is now! Bony was staggeringly good at Swansea and looked a coup when we got him and Mangala looks the part but failed on the big stage!To add some perspective, we're (reportedly) struggling to get £15m for a **CB who (reportedly) cost us the thick end of £40m.

Oh that's ok then, let's just keep throwing silly amounts of money about on average players. £50m for England internationals like Walker and Stones, who are regarded as up there with the best players in their positions, I get. £25m on someone who didn't really excel in relegation fodder last season, I don't.
Like I said, we've got a £30m centre half in Mangala not being used there, give him a second chance to prove his worth and either save the money or use it elsewhere. Or if we want to give youth a chance, then promote from within. Give Tosin the chance to gain some experience. Who knows, we may end up with our very own £50m centre half for once!
The Barkley one exists ;-)This thread wouldnt exist if we hadn't ;-)
He looked a waste of a place in our squad to me, but wtf do I know ?That was then this is now! Bony was staggeringly good at Swansea and looked a coup when we got him
