It depends who the other team are.
I still think he'll make it, but as a centre half.
He's quick as lightening and strong as an ox.
Sven once made the point that you get quick players and you get strong players but you very rarely get both.
His distribution isn't great and that's why I think centre half is better for him. He does get caught positionally but I think that's something he will learn.
He's lost his way the last year or so, no doubt, but the attributes which made him the best young centre half in England are still there.
I'd pick him ahead of Zableta at right back and I think he'd be better at centre half than Toure now.
He'll be an England regular again, I believe
I agree he's a centre back. Not happy with him as a right back. Amongst other faults mentioned, he doesn't have the legs to get up & down the pitch at RB imo. Still a good stand in for that position though.
Not convinced he'll make it but he has all the basic attributes to become a quality stopper CB & is still young so I don't see what we have to gain by letting him go at this stage.
