Quote: inside_man "Shentons more of a centre than Atkins imo. I see Atkins as similar to Goulding where they were (or are) wingers playing at centre.'"
I couldnt disagree more. Goulding is nothing like Atkins, they are totally different players. Goulding had never even played on the wing until last season and he has always been an out and out centre. Goulding has always been a good wingers centre and has always been quite a skillful centre in terms of setting up his winger.
On Shenton he does appear to be a greedy player and doesnt even look to pass. His defence is dodgy at times but I think that is down to his positioning more than anything else and he certainly wasnt helped by Brown on his inside. He is still young and and obviously has a lot of potential and he definately has a lot more about him than Atkins.
