He is saying he's versatile and can play wing back. Not that he IS a wingback

Lol how did you get that from the quote

Yeah, I like that he can go inside or out and cross with either foot. It's like having a proper old-school winger for the first time in years (only he can also defend).

Dare i say Tommy Hutchinson being the last, old - school winger at the club.

But did Robins confirm whether a wing back is a defender or a midfielder?

To settle the Wing back position, you call it a “back” not “mid” yes it is level with the DM in the team lineup but it’s labelled as a defensive position, it may be a more advanced player but at the end of the day the position is a defensive one, modern day box to box midfielder but out wide, and labelled as a different area

When I think of players like Cancelo, Trent or Kimmich I think of them as attacking players as much as defensive

Its just wrong. They’re ahead of the DMs. And you may as well say “aha it says wing so they’re a winger!”. It a wide midfield position that has both defensive and attacking responsibilities. You may as well call Hamer a defender.

I've only seen him cross with his left, he's got that feint on his right down to a T but I'm wondering if he can actually cross with it haha, I hope so

Can we change the name of this thread please? Whenever this gets bumped to the top, I keep seeing it and for a split second think we've made another signing

Was David Smith not a winger then? Plenty of youtube footage to confirm he was, particularly from the start of his career before he lost his confidence playing under shit managers like Butcher who preferred him to play safety first.

Smith and of course Benno the last ones I think. Smith was great in his early career, he pops up a lot on the Speedie goal compilations. About once a year we have a thread asking what went wrong with him...anyway, for a prime example of Bennett and Smith at their creative best with a Speedo hatrick:

EDIT: LOVE that Killer pen at the end, ha ha!

He got mentioned earlier in the thread in regards to whether Sakamoto can pull off his tricks at Championship level!

One of the goals was a cross with his right-it got cleared to the edge of the area then scored, so he can't claim the assist, but it did enough damage to lead to a goal I suppose. But he does cross with his right-plenty of them on his highlight compilations.

EDIT: the last goal last night he crossed with his right.

Better half came back from the shower saying "is everything alright? I heard a scream." I explained that it was just me screeching like a little girl "but there's two of them!" as Sakamoto ran at the MK defenders.
