Joshua Kimmich

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Kimmich is too smart a player not to be still playing top level at 34/35.

So we are getting 2 CDMs? Kimmich and Andre? That is not gonna happen.

Getting neither

For quality, versatility and experience, i would choose Kimmich, but we also have a clear cut historic behaviour of pep never transferring players from his ex teams.

Pep doesn’t go back to his old teams when he leaves, but he’s never been at a new club for 8 years before and Kimmich would be coming to us not us going to Bayern for Kimmich.
Kimmich would be perfect for the hybrid right back / DM role.

he isnt happy with his role. tuchel is also not his biggest fan. would imagine bayern sell goretzka before kimmich though.

Kimmich always plays. That about "Tuchel is not his biggest fan".

The only problem is the role in which Tuchel sees Kimmich best - and that is more like an 8 - and not like a 6. That really is a thing that is debateable. That is why Bayern looks for a six.

My opinion is that Kimmich would need a relieable partner on a 6/8 who is a little bit more physical and defensive stable but can do the build up, too. My dream player is Höjbjerg - I would want him back as I think he would be easy adaptable. Only problem is that Kimmich then has to share his role.

All the media reports are for the Rags/dippers bidding war. probably for clicks

We must be close then. He’ll be preparing to pack his bags before we know it.

it really isn't.

tuchel has no choice but to play him. he is a very good player but tuchel sees kmmichs strengths/role differently than kimmich himself.

Kimmich is world-class, one of the best in the world at what he does. At 20m quid, I am driving him from Munich to Manchester myself. Hell, at 50m quid, it's worth doing. Or send Kalvin the other way.

edit: I see Tolmie is saying 20m + Kalvin. Get it done.

Or maybe it’s possible you are a JCL…

Unfortunately I’ve been around long enough to have seen the 99.9% he calls wrong to know the 0.1% right are darts at a dartboard

That‘s patently not true. No ITK will get all calls right. Situations change.

It only becomes an issue if you take transfer gossip too seriously.

Tolmie has called enough right to make him a credible source, who added a bit of fun to transfer windows.
