I've had a bad hip injury meaning I can't kick properly with my right foot. Over the last two years I've been using my left and it's 10x better than it used to be.

That's with me not being a professional or playing football every day.

If you are a professional footballer you should be able to use your opposite foot... I'm not saying it should be accurate or as good as your normal foot. But you should definitely be confident on it.

Unlike cuco.

Skill is in the brain. Once you’ve learned something for the right foot - it’s easier to do it on the left. It’s not like these players don’t have enough time to adapt.

Barkley is a good example, right footed then broke his leg, worked so much on his left he could shoot equally well with both. It can be done just requires consistent practice

At £15m, Ben Gibson is worth the risk. We should match Burnley's offer. Get him in and then one of Mina or Lascelles.

No we shouldn’t. The Burnley manager knows what he is doing, he buys players who fit in with his defensive system. That’s why Gibson will do well for them, that’s why Keane did well for them. We are going to be playing a completely different system to Burnley which won’t suit Gibson. First rule of signing players get ones that can play well in the system you want to play.

And is why Keane is such a liability for us.
 
Irrespective of our business conducted this week, I’m still disappointed with this window. Brands/Silva have been in their positions since beginning of June and while I’m delighted with our signings so far, both young talented players with their best years ahead of them, the thought of starting next week with the thought of a Keane/Jags defensive pairing and scherderlin in midfield is a sobering thought. We have wasted far too much time and interest in Mina, he should have been given an ultimatum at least 2 weeks ago, but equally concerning is the apparent lack of interest in central midfielders. I know people will argue that city, united, spurs have barely bought anyone, but their squads didn’t require the major overhaul our current squad does. Let’s hope there is some serious movement on the transfer front this week.

Obviously every player should be evaluated separately but the similarities really are there and we should be careful not to make the mistake again. That mistake being confusing a deep lying defensive system that takes a lot of pressure off the central defenders for actual good center back play. Boro under Karanka played as deep as possible and that was Gibson's premier league experience so I have my doubts about him playing higher up just like Keane has struggled with
