Actually, Henry did best when they moved him wide left. He was a "10" only in that he created. He didn't play the 10 position.
I specifically have said you'd be more likely see him playing as an 8 in a 4-2-3-1 with a dedicated holding mid behind him. Not going to look it up, but it should be easy for you to find if you know my posts so well.Midas Mulligan find me the formation where he and Jacobson fit that isn't a 4-2-3-1
You say he won't play RM. Fine. You agree he isn't a box to box player in a 4-2-3-1 fine. Is Jacobson not playing?
Despite sale of home, talks between Mix Diskerud, Rosenborg just getting started

Which goes back to whether or not a 37 year old can play a Box-to-Box MF role in MLS? How many of our games next year will be on Artificial Turf? How many games can a 37 year old man be expected to pull a Michael Bradley?
I'm not saying he can't excel at it, but when you pay a guy $7 Million a year to be the face of your franchise, I don't want to see him play once every 2 weeks.
Fully agree. The more I think about it, the more I am thinking they may actually play him more advanced than 8 because I do not want to see guys like Jermaine Jones run his ass into the ground. (I mean, part of me would find it humorous, but not the part that wants us to win.)
That said, it makes the signing look even more like it was for MCFC because why pay a guy that much only to play him out of position. For the money, we could have gotten a true attacking midfielder.
I give up trying to figure it out. I'm either really conflicted or trying to convince myself of something other than my 2nd conclusion.
If NYCFC was 5 years into the franchise, you don't see a Frank Lampard here. I do think you see a David Villa here.
But Frank was signed to provide star power. And he was only signed on a two year deal.

I would imagine he'll play in a midfield 3 with a more defensive player behind him and another. He's wasted as a '10' his strengths are his awareness and ability to ghost into goalscoring positions. He'll be able to perform that role just fine, he's doing it in the Premier and Champions Leagues.
What you'll notice when you get to see him in the flesh is just how intelligent a player is, he's constantly looking around him and consequently performs suprisingly well defensively as well as his ability on the ball. He's a very different player than he was a few years ago, maybe even a better one.
Is he out of contract at Birmingham yet? I think he could be a decent choice.
Not sure how accurate transfermarkt is but it shows he is out of contract in june 2015.
