I asked this in the transfer thread. Was told unequivocally that he can't play as a 2 and has to be as a 3. When they tried a 2, he "failed to thrive" so they went back to a 3. (By my research, they never played a 2 at all last season).
I'm putting it down as the same sort of nonsense as saying tarkowski can only play Dyche-ball.
Nah it's not nonsense. Ask the Wolves fans.
