I would imagine it certainly played a part in his development as a CM. But he was without a doubt a natural talent in certain aspects of his game.

If I were teaching youth football, I would have players routinely moving between positions to a) learn different skill sets but also b) learn how to defend against those positions now knowing what they are looking to do when they receive the ball.

Thats exactly how Ajax set up their youth teams, players aren't assigned a position until a certain age or a certain number of years in their teams (can't remember which).

They pull shirts blind from the kit bag and play the position corresponding to the number on the back

There's a phrase for this. Total something...

Didn't we have something like the 5th or 6th best PL form under RDZ in the 7 games in charge. That was with last season's squad. Extrapolate that to the new squad, a full pre-season with the players and I see no reason why we can't make some serious waves this season. It's those attacking slots that get you wondering though. I'm hoping we can get some serious business done in these next 2-3 weeks. Players need to leave the club.

De Zerbi did just say that a couple more high quality attacking signings are expected/wanted so the hope is we've got a great chance of starting the season on a very strong footing
