Sounds a terrible idea to me. End up with 6 CB's, meaning 4 won't be playing the majority of the season. Have all our back-up players as players who aren't natural in those positions (i.e. you suggest CB's as fullbacks & CB's/FB's as midfielders..).If we want to avoid another age gap I feel signing La Porte and Stones would be a good move. If Pep is as good as they say he is then he should greatly improve what we have and what we bring in. Mangala and Stones as stand in full backs, Ottimendi and Vinnie as stand in defensive midfielders. Then he can look at a first choice right and left back without jamming up the chances for Maffeo ad Angelino. Zabaleta can still do a job in midfield and Clichy still has his pace. Sadly AK and Sagna are the odd ones out.
Playing players out of their natural position is pretty much what has got us into such a mess this season IMO, building a team so that we have everyone out of position is just a disaster waiting to happen.
Much simpler to buy in positions we need, rather than stock a position we're pre-stocked in & then shoe-horning all the other more important matters.
