not saying now, just responded to all the talk about positions and what we need to go forward..maybe the wrong thread then
Yeah, but that’s more to giving players all the tools for when they eventually settle into a position, tbf. That and it’s hard to predict what position a player will end up in!
quite a few players change positions the older they get..usually end up more defensive in the latter stages of their careers
probably but they still need to learn the new position, if they dont know it already
That just goes back to my point about the best players being comfortable in most positions, that doesn't mean as good. How many have moved back and been at the same level or better? McGrath is the only one I can think of and even then defensive midfielder to centre half isn't much of a leap. The likes of Giggs evolved, but weren't as good. Also the modern day full back probably covers as much ground as anyone
Stephen Ward, striker to left midfielder to left back.
he fookin' does have you on ignore!
Kenny Burns is probably the highest profile player I can think of, who changed from CH into a striker for B'Ham, and was bought by Forest who eventually reverted him back to a CH.
Paul Scholes.
He was a forward when he started and played there quite a lot in his first couple of seasons once Mark Hughes left Man U and Cantona had his "frank and open discussion" at Selhurst Park.
