Defensive midfielder

I think we’re kidding ourselves if we think Pep is suddenly going to rip up his play book and bring in energetic box to box midfielders.

He’ll want someone closer to Busquets/Rodri/Lahm for defensive midfield - always has, always will.

I’d love to see a couple of lightning quick midfielders who are mobile, can break up play and get up and down the pitch. But just can’t see it happening under Pep.

He’s admitted in countless press conferences that there are some teams who are “better than us at the transitions”.

The problem is, it’s not just a few teams anymore. It’s nearly everyone. Football has evolved and everyone has identified our kryptonite.
Is it the conductor,the orchestra or the music ?
 
I hope we can find the likes of Baleba ourselves rather than having to pay the middle man. Our purchases so far suggest we are trying.
 
For me a defensive midfielder is only half the issue
We need some players in midfield who are fast and energetic
Kev, kovacic, gundogan and bernado are just too slow to cover the ground

We need rebuild.
 
We need to stop looking at the Premier league for midfielders. They’re usually either going to be not good enough (Nunes), too expensive (Bruno Guimaraes) or paying a huge premium for one good season (Caicedo, Baleba). Plus half of them don’t have Champs league experience.

If Brighton etc can find these gems, we should be able too as well.
