What type of midfielders are PLM and Kenny

I'm really struggling to work out what type of midfielders Kenny and PLM are meant to be.

They aren't midfielders who get stuck in, rat around breaking up play, niggling, putting their foot in and fighting for everything in the Gary Holt, Milligan, Megson mould.
They aren't deep lying play makers like David Fox was.
They aren't box to box midfields who score goals like Francis, Howson etc were.
They aren't creators with a range of passing in the Vrancic/ Crook mould (not sure we will ever see a midfielder as good as Chippy again in a Norwich shirt)
They aren't attacking midfielders/number 10's in the maddison/Wes/Stieperman mould.

What exactly are they and what are their perceived strengths?

  - What were they thinking? (NCFC) - Timmy_Goat, Jan 13, 13:45:11
    - 127th previously, 118th afterwards (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 13, 13:56:08
    - that's why you scout players (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 13, 13:51:13

        Huh? (NCFC) - usacanary, Jan 13, 15:34:36
        
        that's an absolute nonsense statement (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 13, 15:42:04

        But what permanent signings have we made since our first promotion (NCFC) - norwaay, Jan 13, 15:40:13
        
        I'll take that as "none" then 👍 (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Jan 13, 17:53:43
      - I've wondered about this a fair bit (NCFC) - Old Man, Jan 13, 13:56:23
        
        Rashica and Dimi aren't really "young" (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 13, 14:43:28
        
        yeah, there is definitely some logic behind Tzolis, Sargent, Rashica etc... (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 13, 14:25:35
        
        I don't really mind if our strategy is much longer term (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 13, 14:00:45
        
        There is no "strategy" though is there. (NCFC) - norwaay, Jan 13, 15:56:56
