I'm not sure where you see his defensive frailties, because I think he was our most consistent defensive player last year, and he was played out of position. Not to mention he looks an absolute monster when he powers forward with the ball at his feet- similar to Yaya (I'm not saying he's as good, it just reminds me of a younger Yaya)
If we can hold on to him, Coutinho and Firmino (and Firmino turns out to be the player we know/are hoping he could be) in 3-4 years we'd have the best midfield in the league- I don't care who's playing for the other clubs, and I think Can could easily be the best of the 3.
I've got high hopes for this kid.
Agreed mate. Especially about that bit about him resembling a younger Yaya, been saying that to my mates as well. He's our best midfielder and should start every game, in midfield of course.
