Don't know about club, but he started his high school career as an attackman. He was "Wally Pipp'ed" due to injuries though and was moved to midfield.  Personally I think the smart thing to do is keep him at midfield where he can be matched up with a short stick. Syracuse offensive players are also rotated around the field so much so that it hardly matters who is technically a midfielder, and who is an attackman.

From the sounds of it, it seems like the winner of this very early battle is Cook. A bit surprised that Seebold is being dismissed so thoroughly.  A lot can change for a player between freshmen and sophomore year.

One idea that I like is Lucas "don't call me Lynch" Quinn being moved to attack. One of my great frustrations last season was that the freshmen didn't get a lot of playing time. I always thought he was a threat to score when he was on the field.  Hoping that he makes his way onto at least the second midfield this season, but a poster last year had mentioned that he was getting runs with the attack in the early pre-season.  His shot is unlike any other the team and he could do a lot of damage on fast breaks.

Last point - Jeremey hinted to this, but this roster is going to be very young. The coaching staff will have a hard time yet again keeping everyone happy. What do you tell incoming recruits when your starting midfield could potentially see five of the six heavy rotation guys being just sophomores (Curry, Dordovic, Quinn, Lipksa, Buttermore), and the other only a junior (Trimboli)?
