With the rumours circulating about Virgil Van Dijk would he be used as a DM? I like him and he reminds me of David Luiz. Not just because of the hair, but he's a good goal scoring threat as well as a fairly good defensive unit. And I think he's athletic enough to play holding mid.

Opinions. . .

{Ed002's Note - It is far from the norm to buy players to play them out of position.}

Granted but David Luiz was better at DM than at CB for Chelski. Plus with Van Dijk being good from corners would mean we wouldn't have to gamble as much sending him forward, leaving the defence vulnerable. We could keep 3 back instead of 2.

{Ed002's Note - A truly bizarre thought process.}

Id love van dijk. Tall. Fast. Strong. Excellent on the ball. Would be a better dm than luiz I reckon.

Yep let's sign players and play them out of position, oh wait we already do! I reckon Sanchez would be good in goal.

{Ed025's Note - he probably would you know 337.. :)

Ed,

Could you please ban G62 until he gets over his Scotty Parker fixation please.

Worse than me and Remy :-)

{Ed025's Note - its not that bad yet dags.. :)

We'll think of it this way, would you prefer a DM to be more defensive minded or more attack minded. Our problem with our CM is that they tend to join in going forward leaving the defence exposed on the counter. Why would playing a CB who is very good with the ball at his feet be a hindrance as a lone DM??? Would leave the other midfielders to do what they want.
