What is this I’m hearing about him maybe being available for free due to contract stuff and issues at the club?

Lmao then you really can't have watched him much, think you just like the size of him. He's massive and surprisingly good on the ball as well but he is so slow, his positioning is better than Xhaka so wouldn't get caught out as much but the Prem would be a shock for him.

I think there's a clear reason despite all the hype and links to United etc, nobody has gone for him. He's been known for 5 years at least.

Being slow isn’t our problem, lack of defensive cover is our problem. You don’t need pace to sit in front of the back four. Xhaka and Ramsey would be transformed with a proper DM behind them - thats why those two looked better when we played with 3 CBs earlier in the season.

Carvalho - Xhaka midfield pair is something I'd expect to see in West Ham so no thanks. I don't mind physicality and a fighter in the midfield but that needs to be someone with an engine, kind of like Arturo Vidal. We need pace, tenacity, aggression + dribbling and passing ability in the midfield, not a lamppost.
