I'm only interested in players who can play. Winning the ball back is important, but not if it means accommodating a player who cannot cope with the possession-based football.
Cameron in midfield is a terrible idea IMO. 'Cameron-type' means playing a defender out of position in midfield?
To stave off a relegation, and as an emergency, maybe. But not to chase a promotion. If we don't have the defenders we can trust to defend, then there's no point anyway.
