maybe he can teach Ramsey.



for 180k pw you'd think he must know this already.... :dontknow:



It's just not his game and what he is good at. Which is why I don't like him as a CM



Take 'as a CM' off and I agree :sneaky2:


Anyway Torreira would be great for that price. Better than Praet.

a player who can relieve pressure and break the press in midfield is worth their weight in gold

I like what I see on YouTube. Looks like a mix of Kante, Cazorla, and Verratti in one
Ramsdale
(Turner/Hein)
White Saliba Gabriel Zinchenko
(Tomiyasu/Niles) (Timber/Holding) (Trusty/Kiwior) (Tierney/Tavares)
Odegaard(c) —- Rice
(Xhaka/Lokonga) —- (Partey/Elneny)
Havertz
(Jorginho/Vieira)
Saka Jesus Martinelli
(Pepe/Nelson) (Nketiah/Balogun) (Trossard/ESR)

He will add guile, we have no sheer class from anyone in the double pivot role, no one to slow or quicken a game up, he looks like he can do that and he can pass it forward quickly which is key for ozil and ramsey to find space in dangerous areas.

yep it will be a phenomenal signing. absolute terrier despite his height as well, lucky we have xhaka whose a real presence next to him

too good to be true imo

is this guy a DM or not? if he is not a tackler with a high work rate then I don't want him.

If he is more like Kante then yes please, I dont want another Cazorla as someone else mentioned here, not because Cazorla wasent good, but because it is not what we need.

We have 2 playmakers in Xhaka and Jack, a Attacking midfielder in Ramsey, now we need someone who can tackle with a high work rate.


I'm hoping hes quick and strong also.

around 4 tackles & interceptions p/90 (kante averaged around 4.5 last season)

very mobile, excellent on the ball and can break the press. so pretty much everything we need in central midfield. his 5'6" height isnt a problem given how tall our team will be at the back and with xhaka next to him

Is he more like Kante or more like Keita, both hard working midfilders that cover a lot of ground but Keita more attacking, Kante rarely crosses the half way line, we need a Kante type.

This is why I said Seri would be a bad idea unless selling Ramsey etc.

have u even watched kante? his job is to literally chase the ball down as high up as possible

he just has such an immesne engine hes able to get back rapidly if he fails to do so

if kante was here, xhaka would still be the deepest midfielder. kante is defo not a dm
