Don’t think we can have enough talented midfielders, particularly young players in their early twenties. It takes time to settle into the league, and the rigour of competing on all fronts means injuries and dips in form are inevitable for all midfielders. This season could exact a heavy toll on Fernandinho and Silva, Gundogan may choose to move, and injuries could yet affect de Bruyne next season, too. Players don’t magically remain healthy and in form, so load up the midfield for next season and the year after.
