more the other way around but agreed that this kind of versatility is very good. Seems CM is his best role though.
This reckons he played 14 times at RW and 10 times in CM in the bundesliga

Either way is seems he’s good at both. The little I’ve seen him he seems more a CM than a wide player. Bit of a Schweinsteiger type.

Someone is getting the sack when they realise when Jose said he was desperate for a RB player, he meant a right back and not a Red Bull Leipzig player.

As previously mentioned if we did Ndombele for Skriniar + a bit of cash and then signed Sabitzer to replace him I’d be delighted.

Lloris
RB Skriniar Dier Davies
Hojbjerg
Lo Celso Sabitzer
Bergwijn Kane Son

...is some team.
Swap Ndombele for Skriniar is bad. Dier/Toby/Davinson are good and Hojbjerg and new RB will help him to be very good again. Would rather spend money not for Sabitzer but someone like Ricardo Pereira and that still would be very good team

He probably gets gametime at RW because he has a great engine paired with great technique. A bit like when Benitez played Gerrard in that position. His ideal role IMO is the sort of 8/10 that Jose loves.

With Sissoko he's a CM that got shifted to RW initially because he lacked the nous to play in the middle for Poch.

He’s got a great goal scoring record from attacking positions this season. Given his versatility, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s being considered as a winger / attacking midfield option for us.

Don’t forget Mourinho expects his attacking players to contribute defensively.

He is sort of attacking midfielder jose likes ... Not exactly number 10 or not exactly number 8 ... Sort of 8/10 hybrid... He is kind of like dele ...

Can’t see it. He was so impressive when we played them this season, but even if RB are a bit tinpot he’s their skipper and they are a club on the up.

We already know we’re probably gonna be relying on sales this season, and I imagine Sabitzer will cost something not far off what Ndombele cost. Also there are other clubs that could offer a better wage than us, and we don’t even have champions league to offer

I posted this yesterday but the most credible link we've had so far is from Bild, which was back in March after RB Leipzig knocked us out


I know it was a while ago but they were the paper to link us to Son first

(was he the last player we bought from Germany, I cant think?)
