I think we need to be a little patient with Ben. He was out for some time and it can take a while to re-acclimatise to the full pace and physicality off first team action, but you're right as far as needing to improve our full back options on both sides this summer. Ben needs a left back to support and cover him so that role can be properly rotated to ensure the best performances for most games.
I don't know what JM wants do with the right full back position. Aurier is fine going forward but as far as defending the massive space behind him, he too often goes missing which means the centre-backs need to cover his arse (which means they have to leave their own spaces unattended, which leads to obvious problems.
Maybe we shoud be looking to recruit a dedicated right full back to back him up and do not much more than to defend, but who, I have no idea.

Max Aarons hopefully (although it was rumoured he wants to join Chelsea).
