Julian Weigl

I think he had a purple patch great 1st season and hasn't pushed on from there. He is similar to Busquets, kinda. So everyone expects him to become as good or dominant from the DM position.

I haven't been impressed watching him since his first season. He is good, but not special. Reminds me a lot of Nuri Sahin. Who was spectacular in his breakout first season at Dortmund but never reached that height again.

I sense Wiegl will go the same route.

I think he's the smartest footballer I've seen since Pirlo but each to their own.
 
I'm convinced Pep & Txiki are well ahead of others in his pursuit but as we saw with Alexis, that might not matter in the end. I hope not as I hope Barcelona will be in for him too
 
And somewhat obviously, so did Pirlo and look at the player he turned out to be

You know full well the game is much faster than it was when Pirlo was younger, and when he was older he had 3 other midfielders to run for him...is that what you're advocating?

There's a reason Weigl has always played in a 2, which means we'd need to drop Silva or De Bruyne to accommodate that player to hold his hand defensively.
 
Are we heavily linked with him or is this nothing more than an appreciation thread?

If he’s anything like Xhaka, we should stay well away.
