I think he would make a better left back than centre back, quality player but has a tendency to make a few lunging tackles and goes to ground a bit.... That's ace as a midfielder, it's a quality you need to get stuck in but as a centre half you need to be a be a little bit cleverer and chose when to make a challenge rather than jump in and risk giving away cheap free kicks around the edge of your box or penno' s even. Still, he is a very very good player.
