buy a winger and play him at centre

Not seen him play much I guess?

From what I've seen of him, despite being small he has a tremendous leap and has out jumped some of the taller wingers in the game to win the ball.

I'm afraid 'practically perfect' won't cut it ....

I've seen him play a bit, not loads admittedly. I don't recall him being great in the air but regardless of whether he is or isn't he'll bring a lot of energy to the team

Think Webster and Shenton will be our centres next season with Gilmour and Thompson providing back up when needed

Steve Nash and Jimmy Grehan brought "energy" to the team, unfortunately that was about all they brought. Justin Carney looks like a quality winger who certainly knows where the try line is.
