A football team needs different qualities. Compared to watching in my youth, it is a squad game now as much as a team game.
Unless a club are Champions League regulars, top quality in every position, and back up, is unattainable.
So, Dummett?
He brings a local flavour, in turn a bit of passion, effort, flexibility to play left back or left side of a back 3 and can keep a lot of opponents quiet.
No, he is not another Roberto Carlos but when you think Luke Shaw is rated as a £30m left back, Dummett allows the summer budget to go on more quality up front.
We have to recognise our limitations and for me, Dummett is a worthy member of the squad in the situation we find ourselves in.
