I dont quite understand why he's played as a striker whenever I've seen him play, admittedly this is only a couple of times, his movement on the ball seems great like when he had the ball on the edge of the box against Spurs and played it beautifully past their defenders, but he doesnt appear to be able to shoot. If that comes in time then fantastic but if he can keep the ball, take it past players and pass (is he a good passer?) can he just be the guy we play 'in the hole' when/if Ash ends up leaving as this appears to be the formation we're going ahead with.
P.S. Mark - whats wrong with 451? our strikers cant score and I cant see us getting 2 proven goal scorers in in any window we've never had a great striker and we aren't going to get 2 at once. Real Madrid, Arsenal, Barcelona to some degree all manage just fine with 3 Midfielders, 2 Wingers and a Striker so please get a grip, it's not like we're playing 4-6-0 like Scotland [i think did it a month or so ago?]
