Hargreaves is not the future. You don't pay £17m for a decent defensive midfield to them stick him at right back just to fill a gap.
Hargreaves provides us with a very useful third option for right back though. With Gaz back next season, Wes having signed a new contract (although it shouldn't be forgotten he is primarily our 3rd choice centre back not our 2nd choice right back) and we do have 'young' Simpson.
I wouldn't be surprised if we signed another right back but it all depends on how good Simpson is. If we sign a new RB it means Simpson doesn't have a future at OT.
