Maybe, however our best period of the season came with Jorginho being an crucial element. Mount/Kovacic/Jorginho.
Also, I can't see Lampard thinking Gilmour is better at blocking off channels as opposed to Jorginho.
He's asked to leave imo.
Azpilicueta doesn't at all fit the mold of the technical ability the entire Spanish national team has. It's the very reason why they never considered him until WC 2014, and that was down to his extraordinary season under Mourinho.
His injuries (Hi Jason) and his lack of end product worried me about this deal, especially when neutrals and pundits stated he was Hazard's replacement. It triggered me and I was genuinely worried.
The vast change in his productivity isn't luck. It's coaching.
So if this is what Lampard wants moving forward, surely we should sign a proper DM/holding midfielder?
Maybe hijack the Partey transfer whilst offloading Jorginho?
