He was a very good centre back, IMO, but a mediocre striker. However, not only was he a good centre back (he'd walk into our current team) but he was also very versatile, and I think that's what makes him a fairly valuable commodity. i.e. if your team has an injury or sending off in the middle of the match, it's much easier to shuffle the formation around when one player can play any of 3 or 4 positions competently.
Agree with that, he would 100% walk into our team at CB.
