Is this the same David Lopez who ended up being pretty mediocre for us and eventually was shipped out to the Spanish 2nd division?
or is this the David Lopez who was world class and scored an amazing free-kick for us against Palace?
Sorry, I'm more used to saying 'Deep lying centre forward'. That's where I'd say Ulloa's natural position was. CMS was a striker who played off the shoulder. He was reliant on being feed through. Sadly, we sort of expected CMS to feed himself which he clearly wasn't good enough to do.
That was always said about CMS except we always claimed 'once CMS has a decent number 10 playing next to him, he'll start turning it on'. Once that number 10 was finally brought in (Ulloa) CMS was dropped.
So far, he looks like a handy utility man. He probably can fit into a fair few positions if required. I doubt he'll be in the starting 11 once/if we bring in the required players.
