how old is he?
Feel like he's mid 20's by now? Bit late to still be playing that level
Thiago is Toney's replacement. Deal already done with Brentford
But we have Sarr, Bentancur, Bergvall for the 8.
I don't really get the Onana link either tbh
Ah right, I wasn't aware of that!
6 ft 5 defensive midfielder who's monstrous defensively.
I think it's looking increasingly likely that tactically, we'll evolve next year. And instead of going with a sole 6, it's likely we'll go to more of a double pivot to cover the wide areas and the 10 in front of them creating.
Onana would be perfect in that role tbh.
Remember when we thought we were getting Arne Slot? Wild. Tell him to do one Daniel, it’s time for revenge.
Unless the thinking is PEH/Gio gone, Bentancur is the 6 and Bergvall more of a 10 leaves:
Bentancur/Biss
Sarr/Onana
Maddison/Bergvall
But we are apparently also in for a 6.
The above group still lacks in the creative department for me.
So you rotate him with Sarr, Bissouma, Bentancur and Bergvall for 2 positions? 6 players for 2 positions, even with Europe and that doesn't include Skipp who guess would need to leave as well.
Why would Bergvall be a 10? Pretty sure he's never played 10 so far.
Well we are after a 6 and that's been reported by pretty much everyone.
So it's no secret that we'd be signing one. So even if it isn't Onana, someone will be coming in to rotate with the others for 2 positions.
I think Ange if flexible and is learning. By next season he will know what games will require certain systems, certain players etc.
I think Onana and Bentancur would be swapped in that rotation.
Onana is a 6? I thought he was more 8?
How is he playing the ball?
It's a strange one because we have depth in CM but also not really that clear where the best improvement is. We still don't know how Ange sees Bentancur... i guess as an 8.
we need a much more physical option in the middle and he can cover deep if needed. He is the closest player I can think of to a Rice type, even stronger and quicker and a very mobile player who makes it horrible for other players. Generally always looks good when playing against big clubs and in battles. I think we need that type of option particularly in big games. Depth and something different.
Got all the attributes for one. Plays there for Belgium.
Hes got good technique. I think him and Sarr rotating with Bissouma and Bentancur as a double pivot with Maddison ahead of them would give us a lot more solidarity. He also adds height for defending set pieces, his aerial duel percentage is ridiculously high.
Bergvall is only 18 so he'll get his chances. Up to him to take them. Skipp is done.
