If you think about it, that really is the best option, his role and play style will hardly be effected (offensively), he will have to freedom to attack like Lampard, and he"ll will track back and collect the ball from the defense like he was doing when he was the no.10 for Brazil. He will just have to shoulder a slight defensive duty, which shouldn't be that difficult, but if he can't adapt then he won't be fit for the position.
