I'm watching him play against Roma now, and his actually playing more offensve than before, behind the strikers. IMO, from what I have seen from him it's not the best position for him to play. IMO he doesnt have the creativity and dribbling skills to be a playmaker. He's left footed and is pretty good on taking corners. He's IMO better at winning balls than Appiah, altho Appiah IMO has better, sharper passing and more vision in offence.
Altho you have to keep in mind I could be wrong, I've seen him for a total of 45 minutes so far.
