Ask not what the RPB can do for you, ask what you can do for the RPB.

I hope this Chilean player is the real deal, however, we need a natural CB a guy who's natural position is CB, sounds like this Chilean player is a utility type of CB from what Luke writes, writing that he can play in the middle of the defense and on the left wide. We need a guy who is just a CB, a master of that one position and nothing else.

no what we need is a guy who can play the position really really well. If he happens to be able to play other positions so be it.

[Parkdale]

^ so you guys are both arguing that we need a solid CB. Only on the internet eh?

Many fullbacks can play CB well. It's not an uncommon thing for defenders to be able to play fullback, DM, and CB.

Sergio Ramos is a right back who now plays as a Left centerback and scores goals like a striker........

Wat.

From the clips i saw, Aceval's a pretty good set piece taker! I think TFC was lacking in that department, so that element of versatility is a nice addition. A skilled CB/LB; definitely a rare commodity in MLS. Hope he brings that quality to Toronto, that would be exciting to see.
