Only one Trevor Morley Pleased - for those saying we now have 3 right backs, I do wonder if Cummings is being seen as a potential alternative to Jobi on the right wing going forward - he played well there in the play off match against cardiff....
1) McAnuff plays left wing.
2) One good game when we had no alternatives makes you think he's seen as a potential winger? When he's not actually that good going forward as a full back?
Looks a bit like a Guthriesque signing... very promising, but could prove to be a bit of a damp squib. It's an area we've needed to improve, but also an area where we have depth. Given our lack of big signings to keep us up, and the fact that Cummings and Gunter are both easily good enough for the Championship, I'm not sure this is the best idea.
But he will almost certainly bea good player for us and improves our 11 NOW. And between him and Cummings we may already have our future left backs as both seem able to play there...
I'd really, really like to see us sign at least one more midfielder who is there to pull the strings, or score goals and attack. We're still rather one dimensional there. Albeit with a lot more choice and probably a bit more quality.
