Intend to think any defensive midfielder either now or in the future that we buy needs to be comfortable in a double pivot and as a lone 6 in a 433.

KDH, for example, has a huge natural bias towards the inside left channel - he comes alive in that area and, that being the case, it makes sense to shift to a 433 at times. He isn't a natural 10 because he doesn't really drift, or even occupy the space behind the striker a lot of the time.

Merlin Rohl, from the little I've seen him, seems to be a number 8 who's been used like Doucoure at times by Freiburg - a hard running number 10. Again, you'd assume he'd be better suited to a 433. It would surprise me if he was playing in a double pivot, but equally you can't see Dewsbury-Hall doing that either, he's too lightweight.

I confess I've not seen anything of Rohl but it sounds as though he has the physical attributes to do a Gana-type role. That he's not been played there by Freiburg doesn't mean he can do it.

One thing we really lack at the moment is genuine physical presence in the middle of the park. Garner, Gana, KDH all small and easily bullied. That was exposed against Leeds who are a team of monsters. Only Tim looks capable of being able to win aerial duels and second balls in the middle of the park. This guy looks like an answer to that problem

I love it when we're linked with a player that nobody has ever heard of, and has never been mentioned on here as a target, but we're all desperately scrambling around to find something positive about him.

Ok. He's quite tall.

That's it, I think.
