Yeah I remember Leggy, and it's possible he could adapt his game (though I have reservations about him being able to  play deep enough to pick up the ball from the back line AND his technical defensive ability - tracking back, body shape, staying on his feet. The biggest issue though is his headspace. In his head he is a striker - always has been, and England's striker at that - with a World Cup on the horizon; and playing defensive CM (for that is what we need) is just not where his headspace will be. If Moyes can make that happen, he's a miracle-worker. It won't happen.
