I think rather that after 2 years in turkish prison, his name will be Farah ibn Al-Benhadglaoui, he will deny our lord Jesus Christ and consider football as haram. End of carreer. Inshallah
If the 343 is the magic formation and he does stay then yes i can only see that as his role in the team..back up for both wingbacks. A very poor man's zambrotta....as in turning zambrotta from a winger to a full back.
Funny how we once had so much talent we were able to trial players like zambrotta as a full back and turned him into one of the very best going around.
Wingback is not new for him, he played left wingback for a bit with Fiorentina and a little under Conte in Azzurri. Not reason to keep, but not something new for him.
