With Neville hopefully back after a good pre season, Wes and Hargo, we can actually even go another season without signing a right back, but we'll surely try.
True, 16mil is a lot for a right back. But as is 18mil for Hargreaves and sticking him at right back. Chelsea are doing the same at times with Essien - 25mil.

Wouldn't it be better to have a top class specialist right back?

It will be interesting to see what Grant does next year in the big games now he has Bosingwa. Essien will want to be playing in midfield so who gets left out?
