    Simon Davey certainly doesn't think so:

    "It is another big deal for this Club and we are delighted to have brought him here. Mounir is a player who will be comfortable as a left winger or wing back. He will add a dynamic option on the left hand side to complement what we had last season on the opposite flank".

    Why do you assume that?

    It says he's a left winger or wing back. It says nothing about him being a left back.

    We've signed Hugo Roberto Colace as a midfielder.

    So I assume we'll be playing him in goal.

    I thought it was just me

    I've assumed he's a left winger who can fill in at left wing back, if needed. It wouldn't be the first time I've read things wrong, though!

    No! Absolutely not!

    Werling was a left back. I know everyone thought he'd be great in midfield, but he never played there. He was a left back. This new guy is a left midfielder and now everyone is assuming he'll play left back. It's bonkers.

    you are right of course, but what I meant was...

    Like many others I though Werling would have been better used as a left wing back or left sided midfield player, in the position where this new guy allegedly plays.

    Anyway, while we are on the subject, what is the difference between a left sided midfield player and a left winger?

    I'd laugh my tits off if this guy lined up at left back against QPR :D :D

    I'd really start to worry if I were you

    I'm agreeing with all the your comments today. Come on Jay, you'll have to raise your standards.

    that's where he normally plays.

    You ought to tell Simon Davey that as he thinks he's bought a midfielder.

    He's been playing defence for the last couple of seasons.

    But then again Bobby Hassellhad been playing defence for years.

    Like I said

    You should have a word with Simon Davey as he thinks he's bought a midfielder.

    RE: Like I said

    To be fair we have only read an interview. When SD said wing back he might have meant full back. Maybe the lad can play anywhere up the left.
