I think there's a Ruferesque DM in LKH, given some time there. Similar calmness on the ball, even when the situation calls for some urgency, happy to take it into tight areas and back himself to get out, which backfires a lot less for Rufes than it used to.
Neither are as good as their stature would suggest aerially, but Rufer obviously puts himself about a lot better in general play and definitely something Kelly-Heald has to add.
I'm not sure LKH would be better long term in midfield than as a left sided CB, but I can see the potential in there, and I can see minutes in the midfield making him better on the ball even if he does settle in at CB.

So in your view that here and now he is a better midfielder than Conchie, Nagasawa and Retre as that would have to be the only criteria for playing him there! We simply do not have the luxury to play kids out of position to make them more comfortable in their best positions...we have seen far too much this season of players being played all over the place without ever nailing a position!
I said absolute nothing about the merits of playing LKH there vs any other midfielder available, and the fact that you missed that entirely in order to attack the comment makes me think the rest of your comments are probably based a lot more in emotion than in reason as well.
