Can is viewed as a B2B midfielder


Which he really didn't do in the Bundesliga

Like Bleed said he could be great at the base of a diamond.

He played everywhere from LB to AM for Bayer Leverkusen last year, chipping in 3 goals and 5 assists... he obviously has the ability to get forward and with BR coaching him, I'm quite sure he can get even better... His future may well be as a DM, but I do not think you'll see him as a CB, unless in a pinch due to injuries.

He said himself, his best/preferred position is as a CM, on his first LFC interview... so, it is far from a stretch to play him there...

I admit I didn't watch him regularly at Leverkusen, but from the preseason, to me he wonders upfield too much to take on the role of a true DM at the base of a diamond. That and he's surprised me at times with some skill and solid runs going forward. I think he would work well in a midfield with Hendo and Gerrard.
