Maybe kennys thinking more about versatility for the team?
I see this guy as a similar to Riera type in style of football
Got a cracking cross on him i.m.o.
Now atm we have Babel (although possibly leaving?) Joe Cole, Jovanovic and Maxi to potentially play on the left
Babel and Jova are quick but don't have the best cross
Maxi and JC will cut in because of they're natural right footedness
Downing isn't slow and won't cut in because he's left footed but also has a better cross than all our current potential left wingers imo
Yes maybe Dani could play there, but he's more of a flair type...bascially like maxi and jc but just better prospect
So all the players have a use, just only aainst particular opposition depending on our method of attack/crossing etc.
And to be fair, Kenny won't be able to spend megabucks atm, so maybe the team might look a bit makeshift at times, but if its whats needed, then we have to trust the man and in all honesty this team doesn't look at all bad...if the rumours are true:
Reina
Kelly
Skrtel
Agger (when fit)
Coentreou (spelling)/Emmanuelson/Taiwo (please be him
)
Raul Merieles
Lucas
Suarez
Gerrard
Downing
Torres
Theres alot more attacking flair to that team than what we have now
