He’s definitely not an out and out midfield and definitely not top 5 mate. I do think he’s an excellent player regardless but there’s a reason Bayern consider him replaceable.We still have £95m of Rice money lying around, don’t we? Can play inverted RB, as an 8, or rotate with Rodri. A top 5 midfielder in the world, we should be all over this, if true
You’re massively underestimating him. Name 5 better playersHe’s definitely not an out and out midfield and definitely not top 5 mate. I do think he’s an excellent player regardless but there’s a reason Bayern consider him replaceable.
Why can’t it be:Having Phillips closes the chances of this happening. Pavard makes more sense from a tactical pov. If we were still doing a back 4 Kimmich would be perfect for the right back/inverted midfield role.
Not at all. I don’t even consider him a midfielder for starters so there’s that. His best spell at Bayern has been inverted or from right back.You’re massively underestimating him. Name 5 better players
It could well be mate I just think not being able to offload Phillips kills any chance of this happening. I hope Pep does consider it though but they’ll charge a ridiculous amount for him based on his versatility, profile and reputation.Why can’t it be:
Stones Dias and Gvardiol Kimmich
With this in possession
Stones Dias Gvardiol
Rodri kimmich
He’s a DM, and only Rodri is better. Deffo better than Casemiro and Rice for example. Compared to midfielders in the top 5 leagues he ranks in the 97th percentile for expected assists, and 96th percentile for shot-creating actions. And that’s from defensive midfieldNot at all.
