IMO he is a player that slows the play down too much when played in our midfield, his first thought is to pass back, sideways is that what he's been told to do or his style of play? I'd say on what I've seen from him and the way he plays in our midfield he would be more suited to defence. In saying that i'd like to see him playing much more forward perhaps behind the strikers, i feel that he can strike a good ball and if he could make runs into the box i think he could score goals, i don't know what make me think that its just a feeling.
