Every small or medium forward that comes to the club is automatically spoken about as the next great midfielder that just isn't fit enough yet.

Some players are best up forward, we shouldn't see that as a lesser contribution to playing in the middle. I keep reading that Stringer needs to take the next step and play in the midfield like as if playing up forward is a waste of his ability.

Maybe it's the Gary Ablett Jr. effect.
