That’s my feeling as well.
He can be the Milner of Arsenal. We will need players like that who, as you say, can reliably fill 2-3 positions and give you predictable output. If we don’t get a great price now let’s deploy him that way this season. He will give us more than a Willock or Bielik would.
AMN is possibly another who should be prepared to be that guy. I can’t presently see him being a great fullback or central midfielder, but he’s a decent all round player.
