Strange McCarthy comments about Giles

It was weird when he came here as someone had him down as a defender which he clearly isn’t?

Very strange.

Did Mick not know what position he played? Was he not signed with a plan in mind?

I found that one very weird.

Without trying to offend you should have perhaps done a bit more background reserch.He's spent most of the last 2 seasons on loan playing as a fullback or wingback and thats how he was assessed.He clearly has the talent to be played futher up the field but that would not be apparent until he was actually at the club.

He was always a forward thinking wing back /midfielder, looks like he's a good player can deliver a decent cross I think he's a real gem ,wolves fans think so too

possibly initially brought in as a left wing back who has found himself playing a more advanced role due to his aptitude for it and injuries ?

Yeah maybe that’s it.

He definitely looks a player for sure.

Nothing you have said changes the point of my post.
