And player of his caliber have no business being back up center backs at his age. That should be the exclusive reserve of Evans and Pique. Two talented lads who have the potential of becoming better than Brown ever was. Keeping Brown around simply hinders their progress. So its a straight choice IMO between Keeping Brown or letting Pique and Evans develop. I know what I prefer
