Infact I watched their last game and def played in a DM position
Winks played in that position for us but he's not a DM either.

Spot on!Not too many people agree with me but I think Levy is probably hedging his bet with Eriksen here
Ndombele is not a DM, I've watched him for 2 years. He is an all round CM who can play deeper in midfield but he is not a DM.
When he plays in the double pivot, his best role is similar to Dembele, the one who has slightly more license to push on and transition.
So can he play in the DM position? Yes.
Does it get the best out of him? Certainly not.
Spot on!

Sorry for the cheap shot.

Nah - just kidding. Not sorry.
No it's TRUE Grealish would not have been an Eriksen replacement and Lo Celso was a similar type but Grealish was around a 20 mil buy it so at that point not 60 or 70.
Also Dembele was gone and we needed more bodies in midfield and he would have been the de facto CM probably with two DMs behind him.
Now we have NDombele. He now is the CM.
With all the players we have now in front of NDombele do we need Lo Celso if Eriksen stays?
I accept that we need more creativity. 100% we do and I think either it's the system or it's the players but we should be getting more creativity out of Dele and Lamela (I know the injuries but they are not injured now)
Buying Lo Cemso has to me to be linked to Eriksen.
As I mentioned above we could play NDombele as the DM and LoCelso as the CM but I'm not sure in the defensive side of it works
Yes but City are a team with a myriad of stars.If they has a weaker player that's no the end of the world.Our double team didn't have all stars. The backs we ok not the best,Dyson was not a world class player,Les Allen wasn't a household name.
We have Kane Son Moura Dele Lamela and Eriksen and would have Lo Celso too
First of all NDombele played DM at Lyon.
He can play any of those positions but it wasn't an answer in itself as it was based on Lo Celso coming and Eriksen being the AM.It was another option.
For me Lo Celso looks like more of an AM. How is Lo Celsos tackling?
He’s a two way player. The brute force defensive midfielders have become unpopular bc everyone’s looking for a Yaya Toure type midfielder now, one who on paper can do it all. Look around, Rodri and Ndombele just came to the Prem, LFC have Wij, I think Sarri thought he could make Kante that etcNdombele is not a DM, I've watched him for 2 years.

Anyone else reckon this thread would only be 100 pages long if Rons internet went down
12356 plus 2Say what you want about this forum but we are nothing if not creative to be able to debate whether Lo Celso would replace Eriksen or not 12,356 times
