Gary Medel - Maybe a DM after all

Not the sexiest DM-link, but an interesting and possibly realistic one. I thought he was the star of the Cardiff midfield (which is not saying much), but what an incredibly difficult DM job that was.

I think he could be a great option for not a lot of money. He probably would not play every week, but would be a more experienced option to Can and allow Milner to play further forward.
 
Yeah, Medel is actually a decent player. Would be a good squad player for us, and in a position where we're a little light. Would be all for it.
 
Chile often play him as a CB - and he's been decent there (just won Copa obviously).

I don't remember how good/bad he was when he was in England for a year ...
 
Now that United got Schweinsteigger we should be all over Schneiderlin. Him behind Henderson and Milner would be so solid.
 
Yes, that must be the answer, buy another Southampton player

I saw him regularly for Cardiff playing in CM and he was poor. I was amazed he got into the Chilean squad for the world cup but didn't realise they played him at CB. I thought he'd be as dodgy at CB as he was in CM but he was excellent in the world cup. For a short guy (I'd guess about 5'9") he was rarely caught out aerially and was combatative on the ground. I don't want us to sign him as he is awful in midfield and we already have enough CB's.
