Joshua Kimmich

Exactly. Age and experience are one of the reasons he's better. I dont agree with the original post (not yours) that "hes not any better than Lewis". That's completely false. If Rico gets anywhere near Kimmich over the next 10 years that would be huge.

Would this move not block game time for Lewis though?

There will be plenty of games for everyone in the squad

Maybe but players of the quality of kimmich don’t across often so we need to go for this one but tbh I can see Bayern giving him a new contract .

There will be if players are happy with cup games or coming off the bench, but there will be a point where Lewis will want to start regularly, especially in the bigger games. If we sign Kimmich he will start most games.

It would almost block his path in my opinion. Long term I’d rather see Lewis get his chance in that role.

By that time Lewis should will be higher in pecking order

Kimmich is better than Lewis, so it would improve us now if we could sign him.

However, if we did get him, and at some point Lewis regularly performed better in training and when selected then he’d become a regular starter. If Lewis didn‘t show enough to oust Kimmich then the German player would have proved to be a good signing and better for the team.

Madness that there's even anyone debating about this. He's a world class player approaching his peak, he's captained Germany, and we could sign him for €20m. That's an extremely rare opportunity.

Pep will be salivating at the thought of working with him again.

Of course he’s better than Lewis right now, however he is ten years older. It depends what you want - short term, ready made success or to develop a player who could end up being better.

Obviously we could have both, but I think long term it would effect Lewis if we signed Kimmich
