I agree. But he's never shown himself to be an elite player in a DM/6 role. And it's one he has to adjust to imo if he's to be an elite player there.
I agree that he's looking better and better.

I agree that he's looking better and better.
While I agree he's not "naturally" a DM/6, he's the only one who ever made Conte's 2 man midfield work, something I think very few non elite players could ever manage.

Will just get back to full fitness and sharpness then will get hit with a massive ban

I agree that he was looking elite before his injuries. But this is a different role and one he has to get used to if he's to elite in it.
I guess what I'm saying is that if he's now pretty much back physically, mentally, technically to the level he was before his injuries he may still improve in this role as he gets more experience in it.

I know some think he is wasted in the DM role but imo he is the best we have to play there at this time, i really do hope we bring in someone who generally plays that posistion in the next window. He is imo a far better player when he has been given the freedom to play further forward then the DM posistion but needs must at the moment.

Luka Modric
bentancur and sarr can play as the centre midfield two, taking turns to overlap into attack

Not a bad shout....as pre his injury he did contribute a few goals iirc.

Bentancur scored 5 goals in 18 PL matches before rupturing his cruciate ligament, hopefully he can reach these highs again.

Timing wise he would overlap nicely with the emergence of Gray. I really like all 7 of our CM options at the moment, and most of the different combinations seem to work as they are all pretty versatile.

I'd definitely get him on a new 3+1 contract extension asap.

i agree, i have said a few times that of all the options we have he is the best at that role. I still hope we go into the market for DM because i think he is better playing further forward though.

Tim Sherwood
I'm not sure there's any on the market that's better though. That's why we went for Gray instead.

John Lacy
The guy I liked the look of (a very brief one admittedly) is Ederson from Atalanta. He really looks the part tbh and ready right now to play the role to a elite or close to elite level. I imagine he's a 60m transfer though so possibly a bit rich for our blood in terms of DM especially with Gray sort of their developing and waiting in the wings.

Another very good game from him in that 6/DM role. Coming up against a very different challenge than against City. Good to see him perform well in that role in different circumstances.

Luka Modric
a combined sarrr and rodri (thats what ange calls him) video would be a good training video for CMs.
son-kulu-johnson with rodri-sarr behind is to me the best midfield combo for us now

7 game ban apparently

That is just ludicrous.
If it's OK for Liverpool and Arsenal to make public statements of no-confidence in PGMOL, then we really should think about a public chairman level communication here. We should publicly ask for the football world to see what decision rights sit with each football entity including the PL, FA and the new independent regulator in our country, plus UEFA and FIFA. There are no clear lines anymore, and definitely no consistency.
