Must be a right sided defender then. Too short for a CB.
I think more CB over RB, at least over his career so far

Maybe he can jump 🙂

Competition for Sweenz?

We have had some shorter CB's in the past that have been pretty powerful in the air. JMT and Chris Curran spring to mind. Richard Duffy was very good at CB for us in L1 and he wasn't especially tall either.

I think Aimson would be a decent signing, but an Argyle supporting friend of mine has advised he would only be good back up for a top half league one side and should only be a regular in league 2 / bottom 6-8 of league one.
Argyle advice is invalid

I’d like to see you say that in person to World Cup Winners Fabio Cannavaro or Lisandro Martínez.

I don't think height should be an issue. Look at Martinez at Man Utd.

Fair enough. I withdraw the comment. Duffy was great for us. As was JMT.

How long has your friend been a Football League Manager? Or is he just a recruitment specialist ??

Realistically, that's probably the area we will be knocking about in next season.
