From what I've seen of him, what he lacks in pace he more than makes up for with fantastic positioning and reading of the game (see also: Gareth Barry during Martinez's first season).
Like a few above have said, put a box-to-box midfielder in there with him and Sigurdsson/Dowell at no.10, and just ask him to screen the defense and play the first forward pass to beat the attacking press and he'll be golden.
May be marginally less mobile than Schneiderlin, but his commitment will be ten-fold, which is a far more important factor imo.
 
lacks pace and isnt very good in the air, but great positioning, strength and tackling. we need this type in midfield.

I can’t believe how many people on here are going on about him being slow. For the last few years we’ve had loads of legs in midfield, yet we couldn’t string 2 passes together.

One of the best midfield we’ve had in recent years, was Moyes last season. Arteta had gone and I think Cahill left half way through the season. Moyes last match v West Ham was a fantastic performance, we had Gibson in front of the back 4. And Fellaini & Osman in front of him. Add Pienaar. And you have 4 players who are hardly renowned for running around like headless chickens, yes they can put their foot when needed.
But all 4 were technically very good, comfortable on the ball.

I’d take footballers in our midfield every day of the week, over most of the players with have now.
 
I can’t believe we’ve stooped to using FM attributes to evaluate a player. Anyway, here are his FIFA ratings.

This just in, FM isn’t real. Fun, but not real.

Carvalho is fine in the air and isn’t that slow. He can push up the field just fine. He’d work great with Gana as twin DCMs in Silva’s 4-2-3-1.

Fun Fact: The database from football manager was actually bought, tweaked and rebranded into a real life scouting database that is used by hundreds of clubs around the world.
