My very point is the lack of class. I'm not saying that Reid is the wrong candidate, of the men available, more disappointed that he's the best option. Of the options stated by you and Snoop there is an aging D'Arcy who is on good form but could deteriorate quickly given his age, two unknown quantities at this level in in Henshaw and Olding, and two out of position players in Earls (really injury prone) and Payne. It would be a miracle were all of these guys fit anyway.Better is putting it mildly.
D'arcy, Olding, Henshaw and Earls would all be ahead of him, as would Payne when he qualifies. Our depth in the centres is better than it ever was, even if it lacks the world class touch it once had.
It's without doubt our weakest position.
I wouldn't hold your breath on us providing a centre in the next two years either. No one of huge potential knocking around the 1st team anyway.
