What's the point of it!?

Think he is seen as an improvement on Kenlock at left back?

Not really.

As others have said it frees up Iorfa to play in the centre if needed.

And pushing Iorfa at RB plus would allow Iorfa to be played at CB and even can play at CB himself.

Far from bizarre.

Part of Mick's plan. No wait a minute - there is no plan.

So we can play another FB at CB? Serves no purpose...

No, Iorfa preferred position is CB. That aside the Everton lad provides more genuine competition at both LB and RB.

It is a bit of a strange on, we haven't got a fit CB and have signed a full back. I hope the lad is a massive success here but seems a touch odd in terms of priority.

We have Iorfa. We have Spence. We even have Chambers.

This player will not be good enough hence why me and you have never heard of him and why no one mentioned 'let's sign a right back'.

It will be another in the Stop Gap FC archive.

Given the injury list, what were your expectations?

Seems an eminently sensible signing to me. Played plenty of football, young, fit (!) and provides genuine cover short term, competition for our full backs.

We need a centre back? The Wolves fella can play there but he's a right back.

So would it be better if we had not signed anyone? Well it would have given the moaners something more to moan about I expect.

My preferred position is in very close proximity to Emily Ratajkowski. Doesn't mean I'd perform particularly well.

A centre back wouldn't have been an overly extravagant expectation given the injury list??

But if we can't secure that, then this is a sensible option.

We still might sign one.

So, we've signed a RB that then gives us a CB option, frees up Iorfa. What's the problem?

The Wolves lad might be a CB in the future, but he has zero experience there. Why are we the side that suffers while he develops there. We've taken the cheap option and we will undoubtedly suffer as a result

How much longer has Spence been playing football?

As TWTD has reported, we are 'desperately in need of of a CB'. Not a RB. Desperate stuff.

He's probably played about as many games at CB as Iorfa had...

I suspect the priority signing didn't come off so a shuffle had to be done.

It's a perfectly sane move. For the immediate future we have 5 senior ish guys to get us through the period.
