what's the story behind Obertan previously having played in a strikers role? (apologies if someone's already covered it, not in a browsing mood today) .. is there potentially some thought that he could act as cover there also?
In fact, as I type, why couldn't he be used up front instead of on the wing, since he really doesn't seem to have a cross within him - but can quite effectivley toe poke the ball over the byline without issue, shift him into the middle and there could be a few accidental goals in him after his skillful, dribbly runs? just a thought ..
He's been used as a supporting striker a couple of times for Man Utd. One game where he didn't have much time he didn't do well, the other when he did have time he did well (based on reading Man Utd forums). He's also expressed a desire to play up front sometime, but felt more suited to the wing at this stage (2 years ago) in his development.
