Not saying I want to see Shaqiri at LB, but has anyone even seen him play effectively there? just curious. He would obiously be a wing-back type player, but never seen him in a defense role requiring more tackling. He is agressive and scrappy -- but I thought that Rafinha was more of a winger who plays at RB and who is agressive and scrappy and Rafinha is OK but not the best.
I think Alaba will be missing a crucial time in pre-season and to get him back up and to the form we have seen him, I only fear he will be criticized and won't be the starter we had hoped. I guess it depends on how he heals and comes back. I mentioned agreeing to another signing, but I am at odds over this.
