I think this guy is strictly u21s at present, I see us signing another centre half that can play full back still.

Would have rather had Conor McLaughlin but this guy must have potential and who better to learn from than Bruno and Rosenior

if Forbes isnt in the tea due to the form of Conor McLaughlin.... why dont we just sign McLaughlin...
We have two left backs: Bong and Rosenior. Anyone who thinks we should have more than two players for every position is living in cloud cuckoo land. Left back is covered - at right back we need back up for Bruno. If that is young Tyler, then good luck to him. Turn out like Goldson and you too could become an Albion legend, son!

Maybe, just maybe the recruitment team, the coaching staff and CH think Tyler is the better long term prospect. After last season I think we should all give them some credit that they know what they are doing.

Surprised we haven't bid for the Walsall left back, the 'new Ashley Cole', Rico Henry, who seems to be getting a lot of interest.

Forbes signing on the dotted line in the next few days according to the Argus.
Don't expect to see much of him this year as I think we will perm 2 from 3 with Bruno, Bong & Rosenior but hopefully the scouts have got it right and he is our next generation.
Still wouldn't be surprised that we might bring Ridgewell back on a permanent deal in late August if Portland don't progress in post-season, or otherwise in January.

Perhaps we would have done had we needed a left back . . . but we don't.

By that thinking we don't need a right back either.
We have Bruno ( right ), Bong ( left ), Rosenior ( right or left ).
Why do we need a right back more than a left back ?
Especially as Goldson can play right back as well.

I can't see Goldson playing as an overlapping full back. Great defender but his distribution needs to improve.
But we do need two or each position; even if they are versatile and can play either side, we still need four full backs.
FWIW, I see Rosenior as more of a left back - he's played a large part of his career there - and let's face it, on last season's showing, he's bl**dy good there. So it's a right back to back up Bruno for me - and whoever he is, he needs to be ready to step up at any time; Bruno played almost every minute of our league games last season - it's expecting a lot to expect him to be able to repeat that this season.
