Nah..he is 22 and german international. Fast for such big defender. Can play many positions. Injuries have ruined this seqason for him. He has been unlucky.

But good pre-season to adapt. And i think he might be Vinnys CB partner next season. He hasn't adapted yet. But he is young and will come good.

And we would also get the fee back if we sold him.

Wasn't he playing LB for Germany?

Yeah, and RB too. CB is his natural position. And it's his best position too. He is both footed and can play both Rb and Lb. But Cb is the position he likes the most.

He can play anywhere in the defence and there aren't many of them. But he has stated in many interviews that he doesn't like playing full-back very much. And that Cb is his best position and he wants to play there. But he can cover full-back.

Pretty much the same like Milner..wants to play cm but Mancini is playing him on the wing. Hopefully Mancini will do that in summer. For both of them.
