But they can be so effective, especially at top teams where the opposition will likely congest the center. Just look at how well they have worked for united over the years.

Depends on your tactics. In a team like United they're necessary (though United always use just one traditional winger, AFAIK) but in a team like Bayern that uses its inverted wingers as a sort of playmakers that play the through balls from the wings traditional wingers wouldn't even be half as effective as their inverted counterparts.

Mind you Bayern have enough quality to play and retrieve the ball so high up the pitch that their fullbacks can play the of the traditional wingers. But if you noticed in the second half against us, Ribery cut inside less often and tried to put in much more crosses with him sometimes exchanging positions with Shaqiri when he came on so that the later can provide the crosses.

You always need someone to play the role of the winger and provide width when you're chasing a result.

True that; I used Bayern just as an example though, most quality teams are set up similarly.

Bring back Robben,hope we get a world class speedy winger ....

I feel he will be a big success for Vitesse, he had a very good footballing education at Porto. Their players get good exposure in Europe as well as a decent standard of league football so he should cope pretty well at Vitesse. Probably be one of their better players this year. Not saying hes going to have a future here for sure due to the overload of players we have in the band of three but he could become what Shaun Wright-Phillips should have been for us.

I actually watched their game yesterday to calm myself down, Atsu was good, he's strong and quick, but his decision making at times let him down. The same goes for Patrick. Piazon was excellent, a season in Holland is doing him the world of good. Kakuta got a few minutes on the pitch as well, he probably touched the ball twice before the ref blew the final whistle.

apparently he has been playing centre mid this season

Yup. Doing well from there from what I hear and even got a himself a few goals from pens.

[ChelseasMessiah 304]

I saw him out wide as well. He's quick and strong, he might make it here I think.

Only time will tell. Looks a very decent player so far.
