He will play DM if we buy him and give Cabaye more attacking freedom if you think about it make sense....
We want Debuchy so that means we will have 2 attacking fullbacks and our 2 wide forwards like to come inside and Cabaye likes to push forward to join the attack.
So have Tiote and Anita sitting will give us the security we would need to allow our attack to flow.
If we have Ba, Cisse, Ben Arfa, Cabaye pushing on as well as 2 fullbacks who like to attack it almost means that we need 2 sitters to give us balance.
Anita can play as a fullback but i expect to us to play him as a DM if we are to sign him.
Also i realise Debuchy will be a difficult transfer to pull off but practically every fullback we have been linked with has been one that likes to attack i dont think Pardew would play with two attacking fullbacks, 3 forwards and a midfielder joining the attack at every opportunity without some extra defensive cover.
So all these DM links ( Anita, Mulumbu etc etc) do make sense if how we are going to play next season is how it looks like.
:fwap:
Though I don't see the transfer likely, it would be amazing if that happens.
