Actually that's the one thing he's not. He isn't the quickest by all accounts.
That’s the thing about Ralph’s press though. It’s about stamina, distance running and having the mental capacity to identify and stick to triggers. That’s why JWP and PEH did well for him. It’s why Smallbone will do very well there once he gains a bit of muscle.
 
My other reason to be cheerful about Koopmeiners is that he can play the sort of passes that will get the best from Che Adams. Adams scored a ton of goals for Birmingham off of cute passes between the lines that gave him a first time shot just inside the box. He moved to us and none of our midfield play that. PEH was low risk all the way. JWP usually goes wide to the flanks and it’s not Romeu’s game at all. No wonder he struggled so much.
 
Doesn't need to be if his positional sense is good. Looks like a real leader on the pitch and one that would also give Ralph more flexibility to play 3 centre backs (an option which has never really worked so far).

or he could drop back and release a CB like Stephens to maraud forward.

Could do although marauding forward is apparently one of his qualities. I'm really excited about this one. So excited (and backed by the lack of credible reports) that I think it is a non starter.
