Thread title says it all.
Gerard Pique - CB to RB - Thought this since the Man United days and his performances for country havnt changed my mind. Looks great marauding forward, puts in a decent challenge but is fairly poor in the air and isnt the greatest of clearance players in case you havnt noticed (atleast 3 OG in the calendar year for him). One of the best parts about his game is his ability to get forward and this would get a whole lot more attention down at RB.
Carlton Cole - Striker to CB - If Carlton Cole walked into any academy today as a 17 year old, 99 clubs out of 100 would turn him into a defender. For mine he would be a rich mans Chris Samba. Carlton Cole even as a striker is West Hams best defender from set pieces. A beast in the air. Very quick for a player his size too so could match up on many forwards. Strong as a bull, big long legs and hes black. Has every tool needed to be a CB. Obviously the moves too drastic to make now but I feel Chelseas academy dropped the ball on this one.
Maicon - RB to RW - He plays both anyway but because of his versatility he gets stuck at RB. If he played as a RW where he deserves to be he would be a top 5 player in the world if not top 3 but because he spends so much time loitering at RB hes not given the respect he deserves. His enormous amount of talent has actually hurt him in the long run
Rafael Marquez - CB to CM - I know he plays CM now for New York but IMO he could of spent most if not all his career as a defensive minded midfielder and been world class at it. His long balls are delicious and hes a great reader of the play
Others i think are
Michael Carrick - CM to RB
Jason Roberts - Striker to CB
Karl Henry - CM to Al Qaeda operative
