I think letting Dortmund get Dahoud was a mistake, in that regard, unless there is a chance we could poach Weigl.
It's also curious that while Gundogan could play the role, Pep played him more in a Spanish Dave position (CM or AMC) and let Dinho/Yaya handle DM. I wonder if he intends to wait it out with what we've got for another season, because as you say the options are quite limited.
I don't think that Dahoud could play that deep plying role in the PL. Maybe Ilkay could but my gut says that Pep thinks that position requires physical attributes as well as technical ones.
