As I have said I can see the logic in playing somebody in the role Tex played last season but to do so would mean losing 1 wide man. He appears to be a very forward minded central midfielder more so than Kayal Stephens and Crofts as none of them woukd get near 20 goals so to be just behind the 2 strikers wouldnt be much of a change for him if any.
From every description we have of Towell, and every comment from Dundalk fans, suggests exactly the opposite - that he is a box to box CENTRE midfielder. He's been likened more than once in style to Lampard. Basically he plays the role Stephens plays, breaking into the box, but scores loads more goals because he's playing in an average league, and he takes (about 10) pemalties. How many do you think Stephens would score in the LOI?
