Mmm, I have a feeling that it would mearly be replaced by "defending the centre channel".
Defending at centre is a difficult job, you're defending against pace and you tend to be responsible for marshalling the guys either side of you.
Vinnie Anderson was a real enigma, good defender in the back row, good when you put him on the wing, [iterrrible centre[/i. I think Meli would fall into this situation.
If he cropped up in the back row, a la freddie, I wouldn't be dissapointed.
