There's definitely a player in there to be unlocked. A lot of people are saying he doesn't fit the system, which is correct as of now but I don't think Ole will, and should be sticking with the system we played last year, given who we've signed, and with that, I think there will be more of a role for Donny to play.
It may not be an automatic starting spot but with Varane, Sancho and hopefully a CDM coming in, it could mean without sacrificing balance, we can afford to play a double pivot behind the forwards when appropriate, as opposed to a double pivot in front of the defenders; Donny being one of two in the hole. Add a higher defensive line into the mix and we could start seeing an interesting paradigm shift whereby he can influence games more effectively, because his teammates, both his forwards and defenders, are on for the short, quick interchanges, effectively boxing teams in and pinging balls into each other at pace. If we want to get the best out of Sancho, we ought to be doing this. This is where Donny excels. Bringing others into play, back to goal, picture of the 18 yard box in his head, feeding runners and keeping the ball ticking over. When he did it for Ajax, it was truly art at times. I can see him and Sancho linking up rather beautifully this reason if given the chance. If I were a betting man I'd be putting money on it happening.
