add to the list of our every growing squad which is getting top heavy.
If we keep Lucas and have Can as defensive midfielder too, he's already half defensive minded, I know he can surge forward box to box style, but that mightn't be the way to go, have forward midfielders and midfielders who stay in position further back, and actually use the ball, it's quicker than running with it.
if we signed another DM that's be 3, quite a luxury amount to have in the squad for that position. Then there is Joe Allen... I digress.
Say we buy another defensive minded midfielder, then that's 3, what teams have 3 Dm's in their squad? I understand the importance of Dm and for seasons the outcry for a world class one but, if we could actually keep a shape on the field the defensive minded midfielders could stay in position.
If we spent all our budget on Pogba and the manager instructed him to be our only DM, he gets injured, we're f'd
Some formation has to be well tuned in order for any success to happen regardless of who we sign, it can't change constantly to try and surprise the enemy? Everyone needs to know their role and hone their craft.
Milner or Henderson would easily slip into DM when required.
My point is DM is a thing each season but a solid formation would let multiple players fill this role. Need to keep our shape or any DM will be exposed and therefore wrecked.
