Just heard a rumour that a swap deal for agger with Mascherno coming back mite be on the cards for jan and this came from a utd fan not sure what to think, this mite be a mad idea but I think agger could play in midfielder doing a holding role
I think that's a great idea about Agger, which I have not heard before. He could be converted to a holding midfielder and his distribution is great.
Are you for real. I suppose you believe the moon is made of cheese
I agree Agger could defiantly be converted to a Holding Midfielder as he can play with the ball at his feet, has a good range of passing, good tackler, comfortable on the ball and is very organized. I think we should give it a serious thought that way we could play Sakho at lcb alongside Skrtel as they looked good together.
I don't think agger can be a good dm
yes he is good with the distribution bt he will loose every header and every physical tussle in that position
Agger could not be a holding midfielder. He simply hasn't got the body for it, Ed001 and Ed002(i think) have stated many times that Agger has to be managed carefully as it is, you can't just throw him in against the likes of Dembele, Yaya Toure and expect him to deal with them. He's not mobile enough to be a defensive midfielder either. I think Sakho would be a better choice for that position and even then, that's not a good choice.
There's a huge difference playing the ball out from the back to playing in midfield and receiving the ball with your back to goal or half on the turn. Not to mention how positionally different it is. So Agger in my opinion shouldn't be playing anywhere apart from centreback.
