Defensive Midfield Targets/Options

Fabinho/Tielemans

I like the look of Fabinho but I do wonder whether he is more of a box to box midfielder rather than a player who ticks the team over.

Tielemans is off to Monaco if you go off the Belgian press.

I wonder if we get another CB and vinny stays fit if pep might move stones into DM?

 

[Tevez City]

Stick with Gundogan or Delph.

Stick with Gundogan or Delph.

I agree about Gundogan, think sometimes people forget we have him because he has been injured for so long. Delph is a good player and may be kept. It remains to be seen though because i think Pep wants Gundogan to be used as that vital pivot player in midfield, but due to his injury record he may want to go out and get another who can do the job

Think we need to Go all out for weigl he would be perfect. offer them anything they want and do all it takes to convince him to move and be our busquets

I won't be surprised if Mooy makes the club as a squad rotation taking over spots from Fernando or Delph.

Also what about a guy like Idrissa Gueye? Hes absolutely fantastic in the tackle and can pass the ball decent enough. Won't be a star or anything but could be a decent, younger version of Fernandinho for us.

Tbh that's always been my train of thought.

A younger yaya would be nice for me it has to be koke,vidal or kroos if we could manage to pull that off!!! Think if tweaked our system for certain games it would help go to 2 holding in the harder games away from home.

Stick with Gundogan or Delph.

Not taking the piss at all, genuine question - do you think those two are title winning midfield quality? Or CL winning quality?

I'm not convinced personally, I think we need an upgrade, when you look at Dele Alli and Dembele and Eriksen in Spurs midfield, and Kante, Hazard and Willian/Fabregas/Matic at Chelsea, we definitely need to sign at least one absolutely world class central midfielder.

A Midfield of Gundogan, Silva, De Bruyne could be good enough, we still don't know. But yes I agree on Delph.
