Shotton has obvious limitations and this move is probably a good one for him. It however leaves us even lighter for cover at the back.

Wilko, Cameron and Wilson can all do a decent enough job at RB.
We also have that 19 year-old Gomez bloke we signed the other day. He's a right-back and is said to be hoping to win a few appearances in the first team I think

It's vital that Wilson stays fit as he's now our main defensive cover. Shame to have to move him though as he's starting to find his feet in midfield- and Palacios is the cover for his position *gulp* People might not rate Shotton (I think he's OK personally) but it only takes a couple of injuries and we'll be absolutely fucked in defence. |

In the end we have to balance the books were not QPR. With the FairPlay system we have to loan out a few or we risk a points deduction.

Not ideal but if both Ryan and Huthy and our first choice RB were all injured at the same time we would be very unlucky. |

We could play him there and put Muniesa at LB Pieters would be a liability at centre back. As too would Cameron be at this level. Wilson is probably our best cover option, best of a bad bunch of options. |

I'm not convinced myself but we would be in a pretty desperate situation if it came to that anyway. |

AlanHansen I think your comment about Cameron being a liability is absurd. He has played centre back for his country (currently ranked #19 in the world) on various occasions. In fact he has more international caps than most of our team (4 less than Shea incidentally). To say that he can't play at this level is ridiculous.... Unless you think stoke city vs hull is a higher standard than USA vs Brazil, Mexico etc., etc.

You're entitled to your opinion. I'm not entirely sure Cameron is good enough for this level at all, the jury is still out for me.
He's done ok at RB in some games, in others not so good. He too often for me loses possession and also he's not the best in positioning himself. You can't get away with that in the middle. Not to mention he's no Huth or Shawcross in the air.
Hopefully he's got it in him to nail the RB spot, other than that perhaps he'll get a chance some time to see what he can do in midfield. Two managers now though appear not to fancy him there.

Unless you think stoke city vs hull is a higher standard than USA vs Brazil, Mexico etc., etc. Absolutely spot on. Sad to say, the anti-American sentiments of some posters tends to cloud their judgment. What people tend to overlook is that Geoff Cameron is blessed with a footballing brain, unlike Shotton and Wilkinson. And with the emphasis now being on football, it is self-evident that Cameron is ahead of those two and deservedly so. |

We've survived without any fullbacks for the last 10 years so "only" having 3 at our disposal now is a luxury.
I'm glad Shotton has gone. Another substandard player pinching a living in the premiership. Hopefully by the end of the season Hughes will rid this club of the rest of the over paid dross Pulis has lumbered us with.
