Agreed. That's why i (for now) see his main strenghts in winning balls back and being a pain in the ass, that might change with more experience of course.
Yeah, sounds ridiculous, I know) they are both better players, by quite some margin. But in double pivot, without Mandzu (e.g. both DC and Benta are playing) and with Bonbon on the field we need protection in midfield.
If Can is able to do only simple things with the ball and impose his physicality, he might work better than current Miralem. We are too damn static now, Pjanic and Bonbon are overlapping in terms of distribution. DC and Berna can compensate for the lack of movement without Blaise and creativity without Pjanic.
Is it fair to say we lack off the ball movement? Our general play consists of playing it out wide, crossing it rinse repeat
Or just playing it to Ronaldo or Dybala and hoping
Bentancur and Can are more suited to playing in a 2-man midfield than Pjanic and Matuidi, basically. I would still play Pjanic and Matuidi because they are simply better players.
But I’m glad that people are finally opening their eyes and realize that we need Bernie in midfield to carry the ball forward.
This would require a lot of workrate from Dybala, Pjanic, Costa and Bernardeschi. But I honestly think the lineup above has the most destructive potential.

I don't think Dai ever stated that Pjanic's value is beyond 100 million. There are only 2-3 members who seriously overrate Pjanic, and that's because they're Bosnians, Muslims, or both.
