I hope he does, he's as solid a defender as we have. When we are healthy and at our best I think the back line should be

Bocanegra Demerit Onyewuo Cherundolo

I'm fine with either Spector or Cherundolo on the right. Spector has said he would prefer to play center half though. I don't see why we can't try him there, but I don't know if we will see it happen

Bocanegra Spector Onyewu Cherundolo

Goodson can replace the two in the middle and Demerit is versatile enough to play anywhere on the back line.

Except the two outside back positions, because he's not remotely fast enough, and I don't now if I've ever seen him go forward, but other than that, yeah, he can play either center back position.

If you have a time machine, you can go back to the end of 2009, where we started him in the center against Slovakia and Denmark.

And gave up four goals in two games.

Keep going, though. You're on a roll today.

I think Spector is probably under consideration as an emergency central defender just as Bornstein is, if Gooch, DeMerit, Bocanegra and Goodson are all raped and murdered by the locals. You never know what injuries and card accumulations will occur. That's why you give those guys exposure to it during the qualifying cycle.
