Your "ok so he's not top 8 quality" argument implies that you think he is the best of the rest after that although you're trying not to say it. The fact is there are about 15 teams in this league with better right backs.
The more players we have who are bottom half quality, the more we will struggle. Bardsley is a key weakness in a key position imo. He needs to be replaced urgently.
Not at all, theres just no right backs out there that we could replace him with without spending silly money & even then those players would probably have better options than us. That brings us back to it not being that easy to replace him.
