He's done as a CM for me unless we have a real injury crisis again. In an emergency he can do a job there but he's just not good enough at it now to stake a claim for a place. Honestly I don't think he should be starting as a CB either but as a backup I think he's good enough. Especially because he can cover midfield as well. I don't understand the calls to sell him though. Makes far more sense to keep him around as a sort of John O'Shea type versatility backup player unless someone offers silly money for him, which it doesn't seem there's much chance of.
It's a shame really because I really like the guy and he did have that 1 season at CM wehere he looked good but he's just gone backwards ever since. I'm trying not to write him off completley though because last season he was carrying injuries for most of it so not really fair to judge him.
