I would rather watch at midfielders. Somebody who would be the next Mkhitaryan but has the legs to play most minutes. If only Oaktree put some money in, we could snatch somebody from Borussia Dortmund

The only Dortmund midfielder i would take is Brandt but he's already 28 (so not really a long term replacement), he would be super expensive and he doesn't seem willing to leave Germany. The rest are either too old (Groß, Sabitzer) or simply not good enough (Can, Nmecha).

Dortmund isn't the place to look for midfielders.

We have Valentin Carboni, we can also buy Fabbian, and Frattesi can be used in place of Mkhitaryan.

But what if a winger/SS became a midfielder for us? A certain Adeyemi (like I said, if Oaktree would give money for one big buy, it's Adeyemi for Mkhi replacement that I see as a possible move)

Nah. Adeyemi is a typical wing forward. He was playing as a forward for Salzburg and now he's a winger for Dortmund. In our system he would be an SS.

His best trait is his speed and his dribbling so i think he would be wasted in Mkhi's role.

I just wish we had one more fast midfielder. Barella isn't enough :(

Also sometimes attacking players surprise in midfield roles (Griezmann, Iniesta going from winger to midfielder, David Silva, Bernardo Silva,...)

Wasn't it the opposite for Iniesta? He started as a midfielder and then he played in a more advanced role late in his career? That's what i recall.

His first appearances were as a left winger of some sort, like an inside wide midfielder if it makes sense. But he was a kid coming on as a sub.

Then he became more central and eventually he was given more of a free role when Xavi and Busquets were the other two.
