I notice Lewis Dunk had a spell in midfield against Whitehawk and, with Oscar said to favour two defensive minded players in a midfield three, could this be an option? Or, if he only needs Bridcutt to shield the back four, Dunk could be an acceptable back up for when Liam is suspended or injured without being a drain on resources.
He is good on the ball, composed, athletic, strong and quick. It would also be a more fogiving position for his occasional lapses in concentration.
As I said on the David Lopez thread, I felt at times last season Poyet had too many higher profile players kicking their heels on the bench or out of the match day squad, no doubt on decent(ish) wages. If the club wants to compete it would be useful to have a few more versatile players to free up cash for elsewhere. Perhaps Dunk could be one of them.
With El Abd re-signing, Greer first choice and the club likely to be looking for an Upson type to come in, Dunk is going to be fourth choice centre back. Adapting his game could provide him with more minutes for his development and a good alternative for Oscar.
