French isn't suited at all to the halves with the way we play. All you need to do is watch back the games were he's played in the halves; do you honestly think he's looked good? French isn't a playmaker to bring people into the game, he's a 'strike' player, who has speed and a step to rival anyones in SL, let him play off either half out wide where's there's space linking in the backline, he's pace out wide will frighten teams to death.
Putting French at FB is a game changer, playing him in the halves at this stage is a bad idea; the evidence is there for all to see.
I have and I’m not saying he’s looked good, my past comments will prove that but with how weak our defence has been recently we need a good solid FB who can tackle, otherwise what’s the point of a FB? We’re forgetting the core role of a FB here I feel. French doesn’t look the strongest in D either.
Regardless of whether French goes to FB/HB or stays on the wing, we won’t win the GF. I’d play him in the halves to add that attacking flair, you’d put him at FB for essentially the same reasons. Basically we’re debating two sides of the same coin.
