Sonny's greatest attribute is the space he finds. Some call it 'hiding' - but that's the fucking point of him. He finds pockets of space. That doesn't work if he's been tasked with playing in the middle of the meat grinder without anyone winning the ball for him
We've got ourselves a younger more athletic Luke Berry. That'll do for me.
The younger bit is certainly true, the "more athletic" maybe assumed but not yet proven - you'd certainly hope that Nathan Jones of all people is not signing players who won't put in the hard yards on the training ground.
I do very much agree that his best role is the same one previously occupied by Berry though and it will certainly be interesting to see if NJ sticks with the tried and tested veteran or takes a chance on the new model right out of the gates. I also wonder where this leaves Anderson - previously it was between his athleticism or Berry's better technique but Carey (on paper) seems to be a "best of both worlds" hybrid of the pair.

I would be shocked if Sonny Carey is less athletic than Luke Berry.

Wouldn't mind if he could show that kind of form in the champ 😂
