Agreed. Well, maybe not a b2b per se but we do need a more mobile DM. Ndombele would be perfect for us. Sadly I have a feeling he'll go to City. Matic gets overrun too often.
Ndombele is a good shout. Pelegrini is another I like. City are looking at another guy now an Argentinian called Asca.... or something like that. I have never heard of him to be honest, but he is getting great reviews.
Here is the Guy I am talking about. Ever heard of him
Santiago Ascacibar. The Stuttgart star has been one of the only positives of their otherwise terrible season and he would be a perfect replacement for Fernandinho.
The 22-year-old is a lot like Fernandinho. A destructive force in the midfield, few players in the Bundesliga have managed to get past Ascacibar.
However, that’s not all he is and like Fernandinho, the Argentine is also attack-minded and uses his tactical intelligence to help move the ball forward very effectively.
That combined with his stamina, work rate and eye for a pass makes him perfect for Guardiola’s system. There is room for improvement but like many others, that will only happen under the right manager.
Pep Guardiola would be the perfect manager to help the Stuttgart man move forward. The former Barcelona boss has worked wonders with a lot of players over his rather successful career.
Given VFB Stuttgart’s current situation, there should be quite a few clubs who will come after Santiago Ascacibar if the Bundesliga side does get relegated. While there are no reports linking the player to man city, the 22-year-old’s talent is undeniable and would be very useful to more than a few clubs around the world.
