Bingo. Williams is our best option as a CDM. My formation looks like this at the moment.
Going forward this is something I'd like to test. Obviously Chandler would eventually replace Dolo and Boca would need to be replaced, but that will come in time. Also, Stu Bear would replace Zusi when healthy, or Dempsey could take Gatt's spot and it could be a midfield of Bradley, Holden, and Zusi.

Bradley is good enough defensively and has a high enough work rate to help the back line. My hope is that Gonzalez or another young guy steps up and eliminates that need.
