Under Franks coaching he will only get better, has all the attributes & great engine, maybe some work on his focus/concentration... good player in him for sure
They will have to sell a couple of big players every year because of their financial situation. Especially without CL football.
Last year it was Luiz and Duran, this year I can see it being Watkins/Martinez/Ramsey. I think the only player that they'd refuse to sell is Rogers.
Gray is too slow, not mobile enough, not strong enough & bit too headless no position nous yet
it wasnt meant to be harsh, just factual from watching his games for us
I actually think the pressing game that Frank brings will benefit him hugely.
I can remember when Mourinho had us playing the structured press, before we capitulated to West Ham and he went ultra defensive, and Bentancur was elite in that. We were setting traps, forcing their defenders to pass to the player that we wanted them to pass to, and Bentancur was usually the one that sprung the trap, nicking the ball high and often setting up or scoring a goal. We've never really seen that since.
As with any player, play to his strengths and you'll see the best of him.
Jose never had Bentancur though?
Playing right back next year I believe. They’re letting go Zinchenko and Tierney. So it’s Califiori and Lewis-Skelly. Sure they’ll want to move the latter to midfield sooner rather than later,
Just done a quick search. There was a particular game I was thinking of and it was the game against Leicester where we hit them for 6. Bentancur scored 1 and assisted 1. Our press was off the charts that day.
It's interesting to note that our form took a nosedive after his ACL got torn.
Slow and slower
Lewis-Skelly isn’t good enough to play midfield
I’m not even sure he’s that good at LB. There’s a lot of hype there atm
Managers like Richarlison
IF he keeps his fitness he's an ideal back up 9 but that's a big IF

The thing is we just bought Tel for total of £40M. We already have Johnson £47M, Solanke £60M plus, Wilson £25M plus and we still need to improve forward line. What are we doing here? How much more money can we splunk. We have average forward line at best. Wasted so much money on poor choices. We could have eze for the money used for Wilson and Tel.
