What are we going to do with him? If Frank switches to 4-3-3 he cant play in a back four and he is not physical enough to play in the rough and tumble of the midfield. He looks like a player who can only play in one system and that system doesn't work for us, so it's looking like 8m down the toilet already

How do you know he can't play in a back four?

Link says he can play center half, left back and defensive midfielder. Guess some are quick to write things to suit there agenda rather than Google to find out if there talking nonsense or not.... He can play three positions. No idea if he'll be good but to write him off as a player who just plays one position is idiotic.

It's not an opinion I've seen mentioned too much on here but I would like to Riedewald in a holding midfield role. Whether he starts or not is a different matter. Did look slightly out of his comfort zone at the back against Huddersfield but that was one game. Must have some physical presence as a CB and can certainly play do I think for £8mil at his age it's a great price. Only problem is obviously if he is to be our only signing which is not enough!
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

He got stitched up first game of the season, thrown in with another kid against a newly promoted side who were always going to be hugely up for it. He's played 1 game, how can anybody judge him already ?

Normally 4-3-3.
If you come to a fork in the road, take it. |

Mr Goldfinger, I was just answering the OP's question about positions he can play. I hope he turns out to be a good signing he looked decent in preseason. But was found out for what seemed a lack of concentration and a baptism of fire on his Prem start. But the OP's question was can he only play one position. The answer according to the Guardian is no he can play three. Personally I think he'll turn out a decent signing for £8m, he looks good on the ball and is a huge unit and if he can adjust to the pace of the Prem thing should be good. Let's not forget he's only 20 and many players costing far far more have taken longer to settle in to the Prem. Writing him off as the OP has after one game is just bed wetting. Of course he might be a complete flop but after one game no one knows either way. IF LoftusCheek had had a bad first game would we be writing him off as well? What about is Fosu fumble at the back on Saturday had lead to a goal? Let's write him off too...? Anyway was just answering the OPs question of which positions he can play. According to the Guardian three.

I put him on a par with that Spanish bloke José Campaña who only managed about 90 minutes matchtime over a season and a half. Edited by Harpo (28 Aug 2017 8.48pm)
