I just posted on the Tiago Ilori thread, that there is a good player in there somewhere, and i really believe the same with Blackett? he has been much improved this year but i really don't know where his best position is? I think he is a better CB than LB and he can do a half decent job at LB.
However, LB has been an issue for 2/3 yrs now and i really cannot believe we haven't gone out and got ourselves a natural player who is suited to this role. Richards is work in progress but clearly not what we need for a relegation scrap!! and i really think Obita is done.
There are talks on another thread about Taarabt? We cannot afford luxury players in a scrap!! i would much prefer a full time LB to give us balance to the back four, especially with Barrow going AWOL on defensive duties.
