Half the fee we got for Furlong, he's 21 and he's played nearly all of his first team football as RB. Holgate is a ridiculously harsh comparison.
Everything I've read from SU and Chelsea fans suggests he's more naturally a RCB albeit a small one. Which is exactly what Holgate is, hence the comparison. He also played CB against us last season.
Well given his age and the fee he's got an opportunity to cement his place as a proper RB. I've had the briefest of look at the stats from last season and whilst he might not be a flying, overlapping WB he can certainly progress the ball up the pitch and appears to do well in his defensive work. Feels a bit of a free hit given the price, if he's any good whatsoever then we can sell him to a promotion rival for way below his market value for PSR reasons.
