I'm less convinced about Wisdom.... he's built like a brick sh*t house, but he doesn't seem to have the height or athleticism that I would look for in a CB. Still, he has a lot of talent and could easily prove me wrong.
Agree with you both re: Kelly, but I've got to play devils advocate here (even though I also thought Wisdom was a little short to be a CB), and point out that Andre is 1.86m tall. Now, there was once another youngster who came through the ranks, he grew to 1.85cm tall and was told for some time that his best position was not centre back, but out at fullback. It took Rafa to come in and play him centrally for him to have his best seasons with us.
Not saying Wisdom is going to be as good a player as Carragher, but I don't think his height should hold him back. I think he's very strong and athletic, and if he can develop some of Carra's famed positional sense, he could very well end up as a talented centre back.
Sorry for going offtopic in the Kelly thread.
