I think he has all the physical/technical attributes to do well in those positions, but he does need to improve in his positioning and cut out the rash moments. those things should come with experience, especially if he sticks to one role rather than flitting between midfield and defence
In fairness, sometimes you need to look at things from someone else's perspective. Here's how WB looks at things....

If he's not signing for us then please STFU
I've watched him a lot this year and he's had plenty of good games (against good players too). He's 22 and he's already got 40 odd caps. I couldn't care less about his relegations, I'd rather he's out there playing football than wasting his time on the bench at Chelsea.
I sometimes think that this boards favourite pastime is to just pick holes in any young Welsh player that shows a modicum of ability.
I don't agree with the 'relegation bad for his CV' argument comment either. He's joined Sheff United, Venezia and Spezia, they mjst have been among the favourites for relegation. He will probably learn more from those experiences than finishing mid table.
He's still 22 which is young for his position. Some top CB's & DM's were relatively unheard of at that age,
Spezia had been in Serie A for 3 seasons, relegated the year he joined them.
Same for Sheffield United.
Venezia two seasons in Serie A, relegated the year he joined them.
They may not have been the best clubs to join but that doesnt mean they were favourites for relegation either.
You also have to ask why are these clubs the best option when hes supposedly one of the "brightest young talents in Europe" or so WB keeps telling us.
