Marco van Ginkel

What, so:

Oscar Van Ginkel

De Bruyne Mata Hazard

I have no idea if Van Ginkel is good enough defensively to be the sole DM.

He's not a DM.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

He's not a DM.

Some people are saying he is, some not. Can someone just definitvely tell me what type of player he is for god's sake!?

He's more of a creator, he needs a DM next to him. I've seen him played on the flanks before as well. Playing him as the DM would be suicidal. It's like playing Josh McEachran as your DM.

He wouldn't replace Mikel at all, he needs a player like Mikel next to him. He's a tall lad but that's it.

Yea ..

Couldn't he play next to Ramires though?

He's like Modric.

Awkward moment when people want Oscar to play CDM.

Awkward moment when someone doesn't realise that's where his future is at this club.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Well, he could, but that means deploying Ramires as your main DM, Ramires can do a decent job there but it is essentially the same problem we had this season - it takes away his best B2B assets.

True...

So it seems more and more like we really do need to buy a good CDM.

Yeah, Van Ginkel wouldn't solve our need for one. It's why I'd love De Rossi - he's pretty much perfect for this team and would allow us to press on with the potential need for a striker if Mourinho doesn't think Lukaku, Ba and Torres is enough.

I hope we up our interest in de rossi after the confederations cup.

I think Oscar would be best as lone creator with two skilled wingers and striker. That is/was his role in brasil and he looked like their best player. In our team he mighr play dlp, but he just isnt best there when comes to his abilities.

Then he will be sold.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Then he will be sold.

K.

i don't understand why everyone says Oscar in the pivot. Like it literally blows my mind. anyone else?

Well we could always put Hazard at LB

[themightyblue 443]

Would be great having Ramires, Van Ginkel, De Rossi, Oscar and Lampard and maybe Romeu as our CM options next season with Chalobah hopefully taking over from Lampard the season after

[The Skipper 20,593]

That's the worst comparison ever. Oscar has the right attributes to play in the pivot so it really isn't like playing Hazard at LB.

Although Van Ginkel isn't a DM as such he played quite well with Strootman at the U21 championships. Whenever Strootman ventured forward he stayed back in the centre of the park and acted as the DM and vice versa
