Why do people think players like Ndidi, Bissouma or Kante can play midfield for us.
They are all poor on the ball and Pep doesn't have midfielders who are poor on the ball.

Ferna wasn’t a defensive midfielder when we signed him. He was an outstanding box to box player with brilliant all round attributes - passing, shooting, tackling, mobility, aerial ability - and also the football intelligence, character and discipline to be moulded into playing the holding role.
So might Pep be looking at a similar profile of player to replace him rather than a current DM specialist?
If so, then one who stands out as having similar attributes to Ferna when we signed him would be Tielemans at Leicester. Likes a tackle, good energy and very good quality on the ball. He would be expensive but a miles better fit for us imo than a technically limited destroyer like Ndidi

He might not be a ‘Pep player’ but Ndidi would improve us immeasurably. He’s not David Silva but he moves the ball quickly, bombs forwards, shields the defence very well and allows the more technical players to do their job. His defensive output would allow us to play 2 CAMs like we did when we were at our best.Why do people think players like Ndidi, Bissouma or Kante can play midfield for us.

i would get into wynaldons (sp) ribs, he would make an excellent dm for us and will be on a free, i think he will end up at barca, but imagine how angry the scousers would be if we signed him

Renan Lodi, LB from Atleti.
I know this is not going to happen, but Julian Brandt would be a great signing IMO.
Available for €25m apparently, Arsenal interested.
I think he's a really clever player, the kind Pep would love and would be a much closer fit to Silva as a number 8 than Phil or Gundo.

Wasn't he a hot commodity a few years back? What's happened that he's available for €25m?
