And been playing well too.

We have a player in our youth team who started the season up front but then moved to right back to cover injuries and has stayed there. But to do it at the level Borini is playing at is quite rare. He wasn't much good further up the pitch though.

Yep.


But shocking when they’ve spent so much money, they’ve not bought a recognised right back.

He has been playing on the wing. He played on the wing in the derby earlier in the season. I was at the game and was outstanding. And set up the own goal equaliser.

Some players just play better in certain styles and leagues.

Immobile is unbelievably good for Lazio. Top scorer in Europe. He was crap at Dortmund.

Seem to remember it being said Ashley Cole started out as a forward, ended up as one of the countries best full backs.
