Kimmich beautiful to replace Phillips as Rodri cover and offer a experienced full back/defensive midfield floater.
Gvardiol perfect for current system also as a lb or centre half. Whether we play traditional rb with walker for the bigger games or a floater like Kimmich/Rico in games where an extra body in midfield could help a lot.
Mac allister at 24 offers to me the closest replacement for Bernardo if he goes in terms of a technically gifted player who has the game intelligence and aggression to play his part defensively/in marinating control and in moving us up the pitch when required.
Not sure on encisco he’s only had a year and although he looks like he has bags of talent- he also doesn’t really pass the ball whenever I’ve watched him but I could see him being a threat out wide with his dribbling ability and directness.
Just missing a gundogan replacement if he goes- hopefully not. I think that would be kovacif.
So kovacic, mac allister, Gvardiol, Kimmich, encisco- Lovely!
