The problem could become the dependency on Spence at LB. Stay with me on this.

So if one of our 2 RB's ends up with a Madds or Kulu style injury then the other one has to play every game at RB. Then we have no choice but to use Davies as a rotation full-back with Destiny whilst perhaps Gray has to revert to being a RB. I worry about that scenario as both Spence and Udogie are high end full-backs who really give the opposition something to think about. Davies just doesn't and has no pace either to deal with some of these players that are operating in the PL. I massively rated Corluka and I don't see Davies at his level even if we let him play in the mode of Charlie.

I want this squad to develop with quality (not quantity) so understand why we haven't invested in a second LB yet. I think we are now close to making that a transfer priority. That would really de-risk the RB options as Davies rolls off the roster.

I think we will address this. I also hope we push for Semanyo in the window.

Let's not go down the Davies route again! He creates a lot without blistering pace and always has done.

But squadwise once Dragusin's back we could see VDV playing out there from time to time. We could do with another LB but the squad limits make it harder to have 2 dedicated players for each position (from what I understand) without leaving players out of different competitions.
