The funny thing about dembele that he was a silky player up front with no end product. However once Jol moved him to midfield he was brilliant. I think this is the kind of transfer we need to make, someone who has the skill set but isn't necessarily playing in the proper posititon. It is my guess he would still be here if that move wasn't made. We tried the same with Ruiz with different results but I think we can do it again for the right price.

Ya, surely fine with that. however there are a lot of quality center mids out there we could also get for 3-6m.  pool converting kuyt from striker to winger i think is another example. hell, i'd still take kuyt as a sub on the wing or up top.

i am not entirely convinced the ruiz cm experiment failed... at least to the degree the general consensus states. With the proper cdm partner his negative attributes could be significantly lessened. We drop so low currently he's effectively playing that position already.

Very good point, i would even say at times we had 4 cms with ruiz and berba both dropping deep into mid.
