What is shocking is that the club should have been addressing the “ young right back “ issue at u18/21 years ago. We’ve not had a pure right back come through since Jonjoe Kenny , trying out a number of converted midfielders hasn’t worked, and our current best right back prospect ,Roman Dixon, is only 18. We should have bought in at least one teenage right back years ago .We dont have anyone of that description at the club.
If we stay up Dyche will move for a RB this summer. There's no way he's going to be relying on Coleman retaining his fitness.
He'll want Coleman to be a back up next season and bring in an experienced but younger first team starter who can defend and get up the line if need be.
Maybe if S'ton go down someone like Walker-Peters could be snapped up. 25 years old and a couple of seasons experience in the PL.
Hoping we survive , maybe Southampton don’t so we can nab Walker -Peters is a bit optimistic, although they’d probably let him go as they have a better right back in the injured Tino Livramento.
