yup same here
Lindelof an option for DM?
- Thread starter sugar_kane
- Start date
Agreed with this.
Has always been an over-rated player also.
Blanc started as a 10 and ended up in central defense.
I still think he'd be a good option for DM. He might not have Carrick's passing range, but he's a decent passer nonetheless. Can't be worse than Fred though.
He's also really good at positioning and closing down passing lanes, something that gets consistently criticized on here on here because he's not defending on the "front foot". I'd say with how barren we look in CM department at the moment I'd definitely give me chance there.

These threads again? Why the hell should someone like Lindelof who isn't even that good on the ball, suddenly play in DM?
No, he won't be a good option and would be worse than Fred, McT, Garner (yes , a player who hasn't even started playing regularly).
stop shoehorning players and just buy some actual players. Period.
Some absolute wum'ing going on here, up there with the shouts of Fred at LB.
Imagine the match day threads in which those players switched positions to what were suggested on here

at the moment he is our best centre back who can stay fit so why move him. need to get a steadt partner for him and not maguire
This. Christ. Someone plays ok for a bit and wild shit sprouts out the earth.
This is accurate. Bit worried about what some posters are seeing.
Why is this thread still open
He started out as a DM, so the OP isn't that crazy. It shows when he plays (especially at the start of his tenure with us) that he still has the mindset of a DM. Funny enough, his positional sense is exactly what we're missing in our midfield.
But as someone else said, he's already turned into a solid CB so no need to tinker with his position at this point.

well at least its not as bad as suggesting AWB at DM - the guy with the worst positioning and passing in the team
Real life =/= Fifa... and why are we bumping a 2 year old thread just to pretend that it does?
Truly dreadful idea. Leave him where he is. Just take him to the bloody gym.
Good call!!
He could probably work decently as a CB, but why? We finally have a back 4 who are racking up clean sheets. We have a CB pair that works well, but we have no depth at all in this position. We need more CBs, not fewer.

Nah, good passer and good positionally, terrible physically and technically. He’d get dispossessed all the time either pushed off the ball or nicked from his feet cause he can’t shift past players.
Remember when Chelsea were building a winning squad when Roman first came round? They had loads of players who didn't work out. Kezman, Smertin, Mutu, Veron, zenden... They just moved them on. At our club we seem to collect them.
Henderson has proven quite effective at distributing the ball quickly and accurately. Perhaps we should try him at DM as well?
Did you just lose your train of thought ?
What is the obsession on here with playing everyone out of position?
Strange one that.. Lindelof is an ok CB nothing more nothing less..
We wanted a Danny but got a Daley.
I think we should play Lindelof on the left wing.
Wash your mouth out.
Not bad, but I prefer Macguire as a target man number 9.
Why not use Maguire in DM
Bailly would be a great DM
Why don't we try De Gea at DM?
Disciplined and stays in position at all times.

No, what I mean is if someone doesn't fit or work out as expected we hang onto them for years beyond thier need. We just don't move people on quick enough.
If Lindelof is not good enough for our defence we should move him on, not shoe horn him into other roles, or add him to our collection of centre backs.
Last season we had Maguire, Lindelof, Bailly, Smalling, Jones and Rojo on our books. 6 senior centre backs. I know we tried to shift Rojo and Smalling, I know Jones is always injured - but some of these guys should have been gone years ago.
Hahaha I thought this said Lingard for a second
No, he's a defender, not a midfielder.
Lindelof I doubt he is suited to the role but he can transition into the role.
I have a different player in mind, though. Luke Shaw to me looks the type to. Reminds me of a Quinton Fortune or even Zanetti.
Tripping over the ball wouldnt be much better in DM than at CB
You want to go down the Lahm route I see. Not sure Shaw has it in him tactically. I think he's perfect for the LB role though
Why not just buy a natural DM instead of converting our best CB (imho) into a DM?
