Florian Wirtz

He does defend a lot..Quality player with levels he could still rise to..issue is he doesn't really defend so him and Phil wouldn't work(just like we never see Kev and Phil paired in the middle) as Rodri will end up overrun. It's probably why we are looking at more box to boxers like Paqueta

David Silva - Kevin DeBruyné - Fernandinho...
Kev turned into a box to box demon for a few years and Dave's defensive game is massively underrated... Phil and Wirzt would not be the same.
If Wirtz is available, he`s the type of player that should make you rethink your entire transfer strategy. With rumors of Frimpong it would make even more sense for Phil to play RW, but come on the inside as Frimpong has been playing as a RW pretty much all season. As the RW market is incredibly dry that wouldn`t be the worst suggestion. As that means the 2 CBs and LB would stay back, I think it would force us to sign a more defensive-minded player than Paqueta to sit next to Rodri. Kimmich would make a lot of sense (cheap, world class, can play RB too) or Joao Neves.

This is probably close to what we want but Paqueta instead of Wirtz (because he might not be available and more of a natural CM) and maybe looking at other targets for CM/CDM like you say Neves etc.If Wirtz is available, he`s the type of player that should make you rethink your entire transfer strategy.

Surely good enough to bring it up to 116 charges?Some team that!
I hate when people say that. I feel old every time I hear it, and I’m in my 20s!some kids would say "We would cook with this XI"

To be fair, the same was said about both Silva & KDB until Pep got a grip of them.Kev turned into a box to box demon for a few years and Dave's defensive game is massively underrated... Phil and Wirzt would not be the same.
I've no issues with the thought of Phil & Florian forming a potential midfield two ahead of Rodders. Like Silva & KDB before them, the opposition would have to get the ball off us first.
