Perhaps not in the English sense of the position (tough tacking, intercepting etc), but he can certainly play there - set the tempo, keep the ball moving, link defence to attack.

Where else? Not convinced he'd do much better further forward, doesn't seem to create/thread much forward.

No question he is versatile but he is not a holding sort of player - he is at his worst in static tactical setups and at his best driving forward with the ball. Long been impressed with his touch, passing and being the catalyst in counterattacks. He's ideal for the Premiership IMHO, just hasn't been used properly yet coupled with the fact that the player has lost a bit of his confidence after floundering at Barcelona. I think mentally he really had checked out so it's good to hear he is happy & embracing the engagement with fans
 
Not even in the Portuguese squad today. Would have thought he might at least have been an option off the bench, guess it just shows the quality of their international side.
