Wouldn't it be 6th now we've got Timmins?

 

Timmins was a Left Back with the Brummies (released the year before Rowe, interestingly), why are we saying he is a CB when he was been signed as LB cover?
Because as I understand it he can play centreback as well, and was playing there for TW (although I may be wrong about that last bit) transfermarkt says he can play anywhere across the back but obviously that's not definitive. The point being that we already have 5 players who can play CB (Dura, Siggy, Boxall, Adams, and now Timmins) so why sign another when our defensive midfield and fullback stocks are where the injuries are hurting us?

Edit: and I know Musa has played fullback before but it's definitely not his primary position so signing him as one would seem a bit weird.
