People bringing up Cannavaro, that's 1 CB in the last 20 years... other short CBs I can think of are Alaba/Puyol/Mascherano. All those guys played in dominant teams that very rarely ever had to defend their box, and even then its a handful of players. Not exactly a large sample size to justify a short CB.
I hope we get this lad, and I hope he plays left back for us. He'd get more time on the ball, be allowed to move into central positions, and would have the deal with the physicality as much. There is no shame in playing fullback, especially in the modern game.
