LB,CD or RB?

[UtopianParadigm]

I'm 99% sure he's a DM that can play at CB.

[alexanders]

Read this about him:

One player to watch out for is N'Kolou. Hes 18 years old and rated quite highly around the world. Plays all across the back 4.

Imscouting has him down in the following positions

Defensive midfielder

Central defender

Right midfielder

Central midfielder

Seems like a versatile player.

[Bobby G]

He is a more natural defensive midfielder but can play at CB too. Highly rated. High hopes for him. Very young, but can hold a first team place I think. But then again, who couldnt with our midfielders!

[Guest TheArtistFormallyKnownAsJB]

Monaco have also been relegated this season which would suggest he will want to leave + his fee will be less than the 10m+ mentioned in relation to him joining another club in the past.

[Eddie]

He's primarily a CB. Decent player. Physically gifted and could make it in the premier league, but he wouldn't be able to step into our team at the moment.

[Stuart]

So he wouldn't be a ready-made replacement for Samba? Or for J Jones as a defensive mid, Eddie?

We need players who can make an immediate difference to our first time - IMHO.
