doesn't exist a backup of verratti...
he has a way of playing very particular...
great ball control, speedy in the movement, able to play with the team, always in movement and in the core of the play, good defense attitude and mostly he has by now an european dimension for play to top levels with the best teams...

hope!!! :)

Apart from Seri, Verratti can anyone name a good central midfielder who can control possession? Dahoud is ok but only VERRATTI comes to mind as being a world class midfielder who can control play.

Valverde cannot impose a style of play when we don't have players to play that way. It's ludicrous.

Fellaini?

People should stop with obssession finding Xaviesque players or Xavi/Iniesta direct replacements because we won't find them. We should sign the best possible players that will fit into Valverde's system and not trying to replicate Pep's tiki-taka with players unable to do that.

Not good news IMHO.
Lemar is not the profile we need.

Very good player but another winger/CAM

While we need a CM controller who can defend and relieve pressure on Busquets

Thomas Lemar is very similar to Iniesta and we desperately need to replace Iniesta. Good news. Probably BS though.

We don't need to replace Iniesta while the CM position-controller type is in shambles
We still haven't replaced Xavi

BTW Denis Suarez, Rafinha, Alena are all CAM-Iniesta role kind of players

We are not obsessed with Xavi :facepalm:

Every top team plays with a tempo setting, controller midfielder except us

Madrid have Kroos, Modric,
Bayern have Thiago
Juventus have Pjanic

We have NONE
and then we wonder why we can't control midfield and get constantly overrun

Koke?? Also saul/kovacic can suit fine, kovacic has huge potential, unfortunately.

Saul can not control a midfield, he is box to box
We don't need that
Kovacic is nowhere close to Verratti
