That's how I see myself, as a guy who can supply offense and help the team.
We discussed buying a defender. The view was the priority at that time given the way we were playing was that we needed support up front and that is why we bought Louis Saha.
It's always good to have players who can help us in attack.
I'm a type of player that tries to do everything a lot to help our team. Setting screens to get guys open, trying to block shots.
Rooting for the offense is the safe way to go. You win either way.
If you are playing on the left of a four-man midfield, there are a lot more defensive duties to do, so you can't find the times to keep attacking. But if you're on the left of a 4-3-3, I find that position really good as well.
I like to win the ball back for the team and I can contribute going forward.
If I can't help the team offensively, I can help defensively.
A midfielder should be able to play several positions.
As a full back, your role is just as much in playing in midfield, getting forward and creating chances, as it is stopping them at the other end.
I want to play for a team that has a strong defensive reputation. One that relies on a system and where assists are valued. And a team that needs what I do - making other guys better, leading a team, being a defensive stopper every night. I want to be a good fit.
As a midfielder, when you have sealed things up at the back, my job is to provide the ammunition for the strikers and forwards, to create opportunities for them.
When you are playing with a few players in the pocket, it doesn't leave me isolated. I have a bit more space to work and be higher up the pitch.
I think anytime you can take as much off the quarterback as possible, that only helps them out in the long run.
Firstly, I am somebody who plays in a defensive role, and we need to start with that, but then I need to bring the ball forward and help the attack.
If you insist on playing Jorginho, who is neat and tidy but not a goal threat, you have to have goal threats on either side of him.
You put a lot of pressure on your defenders to be able to hold the fort when you go forward.
