City operate a similar flexibility with almost all their defenders operating in multiple positions. It's the future.

I like the idea of an Italian defender- handsome chap, cynical and shrewd, filthy when required. Unfortunately the really good ones tend not to leave Italy.
Steady on, P. No Italian defender has ever won the Premier League. English football may just be too chaotic for them and, like the Germans, they struggle with it.

Does seem like a nice boy though
