KÁRI Árnason will be the new David Friio, according to Paul Sturrock.
The Argyle manager believes Kári can have the same affect that Frenchman Friio had on the Pilgrims earlier this century, as long as the Icelandic international can be relieved of his current central defensive duties.
Arnie played alongside fellow summer signings Carl Fletcher and Réda Johnson in a back three at West Bromwich Albion, but Luggy wants to restructure his defence to allow Kári and Carl to play further forward.
He said: "Árnason has to go in the midfield - you can see he's a midfield player playing centre-half - he takes the ball and passes it, and he will be an influence like David Friio used to be running into the box, which we don't have.
"I feel sorry for Arnie because he came here as a central midfield player and I feel that he and Fletcher could have a fantastic pairing together. Never have they played together so far, for all sorts of circumstances.
"I would like to think that, over the next two or three weeks, I will put a Paul Sturrock-type back-four into place. I honestly believe that's key.
"The problem is that we've [conceded] three this week; three last week; six in two games.
"We need to get Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb, so that everybody knows who's right-back, who's centre-halves, and who's left-back in this team and they play regularly."
