Because his preferred position is out wide? It's where he always played before this season. It suits both players.
oh i doubt that very much..i doubt very much it will happen either..think luis is quiet happy running onto the thru balls down the centre. lumping him out left would be a disgrace
A disgrace? Spare me. He gave an interview at the beginning of the season talking about how playing cf was forcing him to adapt and how he prefers to play in a more free role. He is a floating player anyway. It's not like he's just been a poaching number 9 before. He likes to drift deep and wide for the ball and go wherever is dangerous. I expect more of this when he won't have the responsibilities of a primary frontman. He's played well at LW for us before, and he can do it again. It's where he played for Ajax in arguably the season of his life, and it's where he pays for Uruguay and where he won the golden boot in their Copa America win. He can score there and he can create from there. It's going to be fluid front 3 anyway with lots of rotation. You make it sound like he's being snubbed.
