Joshua Kimmich

It could well be mate I just think not being able to offload Phillips kills any chance of this happening. I hope Pep does consider it though but they’ll charge a ridiculous amount for him based on his versatility, profile and reputation.
Phillips can rotate for Rodri though still in that formation- the same role as he’d be doing this year anyway. Don’t think Kimmich interfers with Phillips ability to get into the team as long as he sticks with current system. I do believe if we could get Kimmich and Gvardiol we would possibly have our best ever city side. It most likely would be banned from the premier league as no one could get the ball off them.

Other than his obvious quality all-around, his chance creation has been KDBesque for years. That's despite his DM/defensive position/roles. I am getting a Txiki tattoo if he pulls this one off ;).

The PL are currently exploring 115 reasons to get us banned, so another isn't going to be a problem............................
 
He’s a DM, and only Rodri is better. Deffo better than Casemiro and Rice for example. Compared to midfielders in the top 5 leagues he ranks in the 97th percentile for expected assists, and 96th percentile for shot-creating actions. And that’s from defensive midfield
This is not about stats or fbref comparisons yet again. I do not see him as a 6. That is all. He can play in midfield with the right tools around him. But doesn’t make him a DM for me. Exceptional skillset on the ball though, a profile Pep would love to work with (Pep made him anyway).

Just ask yourself why would Tuchel not consider him untouchable and look for a #6 in the market when he has Kimmich?
