Jhon Lucumi - Transfer Rumour

You'd rather someone you've never seen play at centre half who is primarily a right back over someone who hasn't looked great and is 5th choice?
We might see Mukiele at centre half against Huddersfield, hopefully he looks utterly incredible against them as we are at our bare bones in defense already as has been the case the last few seasons on too many occasions


His heading duels look to me to be 38% which is well below 50?? What am I missing?
Ah sorry, that 37/38% is percentile against CBs not his actual success rate

His aerials won % was around 52%
 

Some of the best partnerships we've seen in the last 20 or 30 years were two right footed centre halves. You're right, it's very weird people are so obsessed by it
Their argument seems to be that many right-footed cbs are used to playing on the wrong side whereas not true for lefties, which does have some logic, but it’s nowhere near as important as strength, speed, aerial ability, positioning etc, so this would only enter my thinking if I was having to choose between two otherwise identical cbs.
