Oh for a McArthur.
What would he be worth these days?
A genuine all round midfielder.
He could play in a 2 3 or 4 man midfield.
He could sit in a deep lying role or in the advanced role.
Under Roy he also took wide midfield roles.
De Boer acclaimed him as the best finisher at the club and Pardew said if you had a team of '11 McArthurs' you wouldn't go far wrong.
Warnock acclaimed him as one of his best ever signings.
It's a sad indictment of the modern game that midfield players are pigeon-holed e.g 'he can only play as a number 6.'
One of my favourite teams to watch at present is PSG.
When the team defends the midfielders defend, when the teams attack the midfielders attack.
It's that fluidity which makes them so good to watch.
