Joshua Kimmich

People here don’t think he’s a good player?

I bet you’d all hate it if other fans said the same about a City player with similar career accolades.
 


His passing is KDB levels nearly.

However what he doesnt have is running power of a KDB. He plays a lot of his passes where you'd expect Rodri to be playing them from (though I know in this video he is playing at right back a well but Im ignoring those passes as there is no way he can play right back in the prem - he would get roasted).

One thing that is noteable in this video at least is that he is given a lot of time in midfield - there is very little pressure on him at all as he is playing them from very deep.....

You could argue that we have the players that can already do this....KDB, Rodri are both excellent/worldclass at it....

Id also wonder what he would be lke against the higher pressing teams/more physical/better teams like Arsenal, liverpool etc where he would be under pressure and pressed

Great player but Im not too sure he is what we need...we need physicality in midfield as well as that passing range and technical skill...KDB's legs are not going to last the season and we need to replace that energy (along with that class - Kimmich doesnt provide all of this only part of it).

Bring Kimmich and Bruno Guimaraes :)
 
yeah now that wold work potentially...but what about KDB Foden, Doku (who is really stepping up), Grealish, Bernardo Kovacic......only so much rom if you are plaing Bruno G and Kimmich
Get rid of Nunes and I think we’d be good to go
