If Abraham came here and was given too much of a defensive role, would he be able to be a success?
From what I've seen he's tall and mobile, but still a bit on the gangley side.
Not a pushover, but not going to beat up defenders either.

That said if he was great at holding the up and prolific at scoring then he probably wouldn't be on loan at villa.
