TRO Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 12 minutes ago, PerryBarrPet said: Because DL’s best position is not No. 6. In the Brazilian National team he plays alongside Casemires who is a world class No. 6. DL seems to be selected because his passing and work rate is important to their attack. So this position should be an option for Villa also - good enough for Brazil good enough for us. I agree.....and something, I have been saying for some time, but some Vters just pick up on my opinion of his shortfalls....as a convenient method to argue. Due to the fact our squad is short of a high class CDM .....Doug has to fill in....and has done, without complaint, to my knowledge, that is credit to him. It could well be the reason he is reluctant to sign a new contract....maybe he feels, he is in the wrong position too...just speculating there. I know the club are now trying to remedy that situation, but it has gone on for too long....while many other clubs in the Prem' have dealt with the role, adequately. I hope we can find one this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So looking at the midfield 3 in a 4:3:3 formation we would have Bentancur/Nakamba as No 6 then select any two from DL, McG, Ramsey and Sanson for the other positions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightdm00 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 1 hour ago, Zatman said: Because the Lyon fans told them he was shit so people jumped on the bandwagon and will look stupid now to admit they were wrong 15 goal contributions in one season is shit then please sign more shit players. As far as Bentancur, 40 caps for Uruguay at 24 is nuts. If the going price is really only ~£25 million then why not. Young enough to have resell value, increases overall quality of the squad, I'm struggling to see a downside. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made In Aston Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Strange that we are looking to fill the DCM spot with someone who has played the position less that 20 times in his career and whose manager stated he is not good playing there.

Laughable Chimp Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 If we sign Bentancur, can't help but feel at least one of our CMs will have to go. Luiz, Mcginn, Ramsey, Bentancur, Nakamba, Sanson and Chukwuemeka is a lot of CMs. I reckon it's probably Carney who gets loaned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Just google Bentancur and Gerrard and scroll down . You will find an article from 2020 where he says his role models.in football are Gerrard Lampard and Busquets. Thats the level of manager we have now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure people are crying for Bissouma to do the same thing when he has barely played there himself for Brighton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
