They have an issue with centre half's. Of course they are all going to be the next big thing (Duncan Edwards etc) but then they bomb and they cant get rid.
Jones is still there and they can't get rid of/give away, Bailly they can't get rid of, Smalling has managed to take himself out of the spotlight and start again in Italy and now Maguire & Lindlehof are the next on the conveyor belt of potentially good players that get out of their depth. I'm sure there must be more, there are certainly 3 or 4 home grown candidates. It's a career graveyard.
