Gundogan isnt a number 6. Whoever it is has to get stuck in.... I always get the feeling he is thinking of his injury when he goes in for a tackle. Understandable but not what we need right there.

Thiago would be good. Would love Pep to bring him.

Thiago would be equally as ineffective as Gündogan as a 6. Which isn't to say they can't play there but if you don't like Gundo there you won't like Thiago there either.
 
I’m sure we are trying to develop our own “Number 6” but between now and then, we need a stop gap to Fernandinho. If Pep sees that player(s) in the current squad, great! If not, then we need to spend money to secure the heart of our team.

Personally, I think we have the player(s) needed, but certainly wouldn’t sniff at a quality buy in the 22-25 year old age range.
 
Bit left field, we haven't been linked with him and he isn't young but I'd honestly rather we hit up Arturo Vidal on a 3 yr contract. All action like Fernandinho but with some sublime technique. His style would be perfectly suited to the prem as well. That then gives us time to bring through the next young replacement for when Fernandinho hangs up his boots. Not all our signings need to be 22 years old if the quality is there and they fill a need, just so long as we don't overpay.
