Did we sign him to play right back or central midfield?
I would take a guess it was central midfield given he started the season there and only went into RB due to Key lack of form. I think a recent interview from him suggests he prefers CM.
When he signed. From Swans Website.

'' While able to play in a number of positions, Galbraith makes the move to SA1 tasked with bolstering head coach Alan Sheehan’s options in the middle of the park, where he is seen as possessing the qualities traditionally associated with a Swansea player in that area. ''

Which is correct, Sheehan saw him as a midfielder and largely played him there. But Sheehan didn’t sign him…

Matos now sees him as more valuable at right back which is why a player like that is so attractive, he’s a player that is future proofed against manager.

At no point has the club said he’s only a midfielder.

Same with Bianchini, he is capable of playing as a winger and as a CF. I am certain that when he was signed, Paul Watson did so knowing he would be strengthening both areas.

Sadly, he just wasn’t very good. Making up he’s just a winger though isn’t true.

Even Sheehan played Galbraith at RB against QPR.

Why am I getting a sense of deja vue with you!?
