Agree with that. I wanted him as leftback who could cover for Lescott if needs be (whihc obviously has been changed into "replacement for Lescott" now.....LOL). Granted he has been poor for Chelsea and haven't really adjusted well yet. But there's massive potential in there.
Don't think that story is true by the way.

He is no left back thats for sure, i dont even think he is left footed! I reckon with a bit of coaching he would make a good centre half but not for that money.

I agree. Positionally the lad is a totally nightmare, caught out so many times it is unreal.
We can get much (much) better for the money!

???????
That's exactly where he played for Benfica and Brazil (when he got his first caps... don't know where they use him now). I think right foot is his preferred but he puts in sweet crosses with his left.
I'd reserve the use of phrase "that's for sure" if you aren't really sure.
