If Koeman doesn't see him as a CB, i'd breed him as a holding mid. He makes so many brilliant tackles and he has a bit of pace about him. And apart from today, he usually can pick a pass.

I think he's being played as a RB out of necessity. I think Koeman sees him as a CB. Think he would do OK as a DM...probably not dynamic enough other than in a pinch.

Said it a few times I think right side of a back three is ideal right now at his development level.

It's no surprise that he played his best football at RB when Bolasie was ahead of him. I think CB will ultimately be where he ends up. Needs to put on mass in the summer.

Very few center defenders make it as a top defensive midfielders. Looks like a center half only to me but could be a decent 1 as you say he has pace and seems to like a tackle.

Not sure if I'm more concerned about the potential to turn a promising centre back into Rodwell the 2nd, or the implication that you'd like to breed holgate.
 

Don't know many pro CB's that know how to whip in a cross to be fair.
ok, but the point I am making is that he is a professional footballer with supposedly skills far greater than you and me. There was a couple of times yesterday I could of provided a better cross and ive got a particularly dodgy knee

It's not a requirement for a pro football player to be able to cross though is it? If he was good at crossing he'd be a RB not a CB wouldn't he. Just like saying I can do a flip-flap why can't a pro footballer like Wes Morgan do one.

Really.....think we best leave this one
