I keep reading that we have just one Centre Back -James Tomkins. What has happened to Kouyate?

His preferred position is in midfield. Where PV wants to play him is yet to be revealed?

Nothing, so you are right in inferring that we have 2 CBs (with Kelly as a back-up).

Kouyate is a CB not a midfielder, he played all his games for Anderlecht and Senegal as CD any many at West Spam.

Yes, I think the fact he started as a midfielder for us has confused slightly. His better position is Centre Back and with Kelly and Jay Baghuelou who I think is going to be a great centre half in the next year or so means we probably only need to buy one CH this window.

We signed him as a defensive midfielder,. he is also described as a midfielder on his player profile for the club and on the profiles here.

I prefer him as a CB, as he can do a tidy job there. It's good for us that he can play in both roles. We need that right now.

Not having him as a CB. He’s played 169 times at CB and 208 in cm/cdm in his career. If you take the National team and the times he’s played there for us he’s a CDM.
He was only viewed as okay because of the job he did for the team but I’m not having him at CB. Caught out of position to many times and tackles like a midfielder giving way to many free kicks away around the penalty area.
Decent in midfield though.

If we can get a centre half I would assume PV would prefer him to play in midfield as he is probably the nearest thing we have to PV the player.

When Viera first appeared as a rumour I looked into his tactical analysis.

At Nice Viera played Danilo at centre back as he liked to have a defender who would carry the ball out of defence into the midfield areas. Danilo was, as trade, a central midfielder and converted by PV to this role.

Given this I expect Kouyate to be employed at central defence to take up this role.

Hmm I stand corrected, makes sense. We still could do with an aggressive ball playing midfielder. Any chance of cloning PV?

His name is Luka Milivojevic.
Expecting him to be back to his best next year under PV.
