Ideally, a defensive midfielder is one who can read the game, make and win crucial tackles, intercept the opposition pases and pass the ball well to start the counter-attacks. Pace is a secondary imortance, although it helps to make the defensive midfielder more complete.
I may be biased against him but on the evidence of his run in the team, Biscan does not have enough of these qualities and it is a wonder what Houllier see in him to splash out 5.5 million and after that never played him in his natural position.
