Can you imagine playing him CDM at champ level ?Why Coventry loanee Marcel Hilssner is enjoying new role at Oldham

Can you imagine playing him CDM at champ level ?
I think it would be a disaster more to the point who would he replaceCan't really comment until I've seen him play the position.
Have you watched him play much for OldhamI think it would be a disaster more to the point who would he replace
I've seen a few goals they've conceded where they've strolled through the midfield. I think he might be OK on the ball but poor off itHave you watched him play much for Oldham
Technically he's very good and he passes the ball well. He also works hard but he really can't tackle. He still might be a useful squad player.I think it would be a disaster more to the point who would he replace
his body type is all wrong he hasn’t got the engine or positional awareness to play CDM at this level he’s certainly not replacing Kelly,James,Sheaf or Hamer eitherTechnically he's very good and he passes the ball well. He also works hard but he really can't tackle. He still might be a useful squad player.
Remember reading that Hilssner was regarded as a speedster when coming through. How did that completely disappear in 5 years?Would be great if he could fit in as a left sided CM like Shipley does, but better.

If he had any pace/fitness whatsoever he'd be a great option in the LCM spot.

I know that problem
Sounds like he's doing alright but 'alright in League Two' doesn't scream Championship quality. Unless he properly tears in up from now until the end of the season I expect he'll be back in Germany by the end of the summer.
I'm happy to accept the recruitment, happy to accept he's a punt, to see if it works. I would be surprised if it did however. He seems to have a career of impressing at lower levels, but just struggling to make the step up. Now, obviously, it'd be nice for everyone (including him!) if he bucked that - I woudn't necessarily expect him to, though.I know some fans are desperate to pick holes in our recruitment but he wasn't some random impulse buy, we tracked him for at least a year & saw enough over that time to offer him a 3 year contract.
He's clearly got good technical ability but had major fitness issues since arriving.
Hopefully he can continue impressing at Oldham & come back like a new signing for next season. In terms of position, he said upon signing that he saw himself playing as a 10 or an 8 for us & I don't think that's unrealistic. He's played vast majority of minutes at Oldham with little adverse effects. The likes of Kelly, James & Sheaf aren't exactly the most mobile either.

Let's give the lad a chance
He's had a hard time one way and another since he arrived

That is not the SBT way!!
The gulf is on another planet I don’t see him being here next seasonHilsner has been a massive hit for them. Hopefully with a full pre season he will be a massive asset to us next season.
