I reckon he could do a decent job at RB. I was at the West Ham game and thought he was the one bright spark in an otherwise horrible performance but I know a lot of people thought the opposite. He's reasonably quick, reads the game well and about 90% of the time he's a very good 1v1 defender (the other 10% he's dog shit, which is the concern) and definitely better than Trippier in that area. He also provides a genuine threat going forward as he's got a real knack for taking players on.
He'll probably be a bit suspect positionally and will definitely do some dumb shit, but overall I think he'd be a solid option there and would cost us less goals than he would at CB (I'd be willing to bet he'd give away about 5 pens and get sent off at least twice if he was our first choice CB next season.)
