Anyone else alarmed at the lack of talk of a quality right back?
Not at the moment.
Lee Peltier is solid and capable defensively but no great shakes in an attacking sense.
I hope Jazz Richards will develop into a Premier quality player - he has more pace and forward threat than Peltier if not quite the same defensive solidity.
One or other of those two should be enough (with Manga and/or Connolly as emergency cover).
However, whilst I can imagine us being OK at right back next season, I can also understand why some fans fear Peltier will be exposed and Jazz will flop. I hope they're wrong but we won't know until the season starts.
If we could only bring 2-3 more players in this window I wouldn't have a right back as a priority. (Two top midfielders in addition to Gunnar and a goalscoring No 9 please).
