But surely he should be playing to try and get a move to a decent club?
You may be right, but it would mean his attitude, as well as his footballing ability, stinks.
I won't celebrate his injury like some no doubt will, but I don't see this as a loss.
The further away from the pitch Boumsong is the better, as far as I'm concerned.
You say a 'natural CB' instead of Chiellini?
Just remember Maldini started as a LB and I think CBs develop better when they have spent some time at full back.
