We arent signing Lahm this year - as much as I'd love it. And Richards is a CB.

Brown, though a decent fullback, is a player who's replacement will strengthen the team. There
are many better fullbacks out there and SAF will not think twice about bringing them in if he thinks the team will improve as a result. Brown
has earned himself a new contract, but, with his poor attacking abilities, he's far from made the right-back position his own.
As for Hargreaves- he's a midfielder ffs, yes he played a couple of good games at right back when Vidic was out, but that doesn't mean he should take the position permanently.
It's all well and good SAF saying that Neville will be first choice next season, but he
knows that that's a big leap of faith on a player who's missed 14 months of football due to reoccurring injury.
IMO we'll get a pacy new right-back this summer who can attack as well as defend, and we'll be willing to pay big for him.
