Have we signed him yet?


I read a story that he wanted to leave Pool because he saw himself as a DM sitting in front of the defence while Klopp wanted to use him an 8. I wonder if there's truth to that
You play wherever the coach wants to play you. Does he think Max will move Mire to RCM/LCM for him to play DM? I don't think so. Biggest part of him wanting to leave might be that he would play 2nd fiddle to Fabinho and Keita next season.

Btw i Said it already in the transfer section, he sees himself more as an DM, but i don't trust him in that position, and rather have him playing B2B/RCM. Not everyone can play in his favorite position.

I think Pjanic is better at RCM tbh. At least in his Roma days. And I don't love him here as a regista. Maybe Max only plays him there cuz we had no one else.

If that's the reason Emre left Pool, doubt he would agree to come here to play the same position

I think Mire has been fantastic as Regista and is going nowhere.

He won't lose his spot to the Emre Can's of this world.

Mire's best games have been in a double pivot with Khedira. He is also more than capable playing the regista role in a three man mid. Allegri made him a regista, would be pretty weird if he suddenly decided to not play him there.

I see Can as a btb mid too.

As soon as Pjanić came Allegri said he'll be working to make him a regista. He's not leaving that position.

Max likes big physicals b2b mids who can attack the box, connect on crosses and shoot from distance.

It would be a lot different here for Can. Way less counter pressing which he cannot do (This is why Liverpool fans see bad matches from him). Our 4-3-3 is usually a lot more compact so he has to do way less running in space.
