I may be wrong but I thought Cunningham had a reputation for being very versatile when he signed - not just a LB but also a left CB, a LWB and also able to operate in midfield. We have used him once I think as part of a back three, and also as a LB with Bennett pushed forward of him. But those were just brief experiments, and we seem to have settled back on a 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 preferred formation with no room for Cunningham if Bennett is fit.
But if he is allowed to leave who do we have who can cover Bennett? Nelson/Jazz maybe? More emergency square pegs in round holes?
