He can do the job that Hargreaves did and probably add a few assists and goals too once he settles. Think his passing is decent enough there if he's paired with a more attack minded CM and positionally he is improving like he is at CB.
He will be alternated in both positions depending on who else is there before he eventually settles in one. Getting minutes at CM or whererver is better than sitting on the bench anyway.
Agreed. Many great players in the past, especially defensive players, can play in multiple positions if needed. Of course they have favorite spot, but playing elsewhere didn't hinder their development or reputation at all. Beckenbauer, Breitner, Desailly, di Livio, Zambrotta, Thuram, Hierro, Matthaus, and Helguera just to name a few.
