Royal can’t kick the ball with his left foot so he definitely can’t be cover at LCB. I don’t think Royal is technically good at all and offers nothing going forward but he is a steady decent right back. I can’t see him being first choice at RB for us.5 including a FB that can also play CB. I'd say Royal has shown that he's more than capable as an emergency CB.
1. Romero
2. Victor Nelson - linked at 20m and would rotate with Romero
3. New LCB
4. New LCB
5. Either one of Dier/Davies stays or this is Royal.
So, we may well end up signing 3 CB's this summer. Or Davies stays and we we only look to bring in a RCB and LCB.
Doesn't make sense they are letting N'Dicka go to Roma on a free really when you look at it this way. They must not rate him at all.
