Why is anyone even talking about Blackett...he's not our player, we haven't been linked to him and he's probably not good enough right now either. If we get a new LB he'd hopefully be better than PS which means PS becomes a squad player and then we have two players in the LB position meaning no room at all for developing players for other teams. I've got to say as well that whether someone can play LB, LCB or every position on the pitch...it doesn't matter if he isn't obviously better than the current players.

I think it comes from this story: But all of the points you make are entirely valid.

There are similarities between Borthwick-Jackson and Blackett in that they are both left-footed and can play either as a central defender or at left-back.Blackett is a few years older.

I play right back but that doesn't make me similar to Cafu. Like I've already suggested, if the player isn't good enough then who gives a flying f*ck?

Whether the player is good enough or not is a matter of opinion and this forum of course is a platform for those to express them.Perhaps some on here rate Blackett / Borthwick-Jackson whilst of course there are those who take an opposite view. Personally, I wouldn't be interested in acquiring them at this juncture but I am interested in hearing the views about them. Edited by Willo (12 Jul 2016 9.20pm)

Blackett hasn't to my knowledge managed to impress during any of his loan spells, hasn't managed get a run of games for Man U and has only ever been looked at briefly at youth international level. To put it bluntly he has shown absolutely nothing to warrant being a viable suggestion as being good enough to move the club forward.

Dont think we are going to find anyone better than Souare at left back, he'll really push on next season Think we should be looking at the other side and upgrading Ward. Ward would then be great cover for both full back positions
