Still unsure as to what a 'load back player maker' is

£#%&! off, I was talking about him as a midfielder.
I've said he's a squad player and I'll be proven right, when he's our Mr Versatile for the next few years. If he somehow becomes a top class CB he'll stay there. He's definitely better as a defender than a midfielder.

He might still have an eye on a midfield slot given the age of Carrick and Schwiensteiger.

No he came as a left back, he was LB for Ajax and Holland, but he's versatile so got played at DM and now CB. He's not excellent at any of those positions but capable of covering all of them.
He's definitely the best utility player around, can't think of anyone else who can cover so convincingly.
