Not sure, I remember him looking great as a powerful, commanding, future captain material, defensive midfielder I think maybe in the U18's, before getting shunted into a CB position under Vieira I think? He never looked nearly as promising there and seemed to fall off the radar, at least to me( I was never convinced by Vieira as EDS manager, he didn't seem to have a clue about sorting a defence out)
Either way, he doesn't have the pace to fullback really, central midfield/defence definitely suits his physical skillset better, but I think particularly in midfield he can really carve out a career for himself if he stays fit
I never understood why he was moved to cb, as he was a really good def mid. He isn't David Silva on the ball but he was ok, hard as nails & a very good shield for the defence.
Imo he could have been a perfect utility player for City & really deserved the chance.
