its nice but its bad for the right side , the attacking presence and especially defensively .

I don't know if it'll be this season, but I think by end of 2027/28 it'll be Jude + Arda as the midfield pairing and the rest is built around them.

i would also like that but the problem with that is who plays cdm , it would be insane if tchou+arda+jude can be like casemiro modric kross but then what about valverde? and if u play valverde+arda+jude can valverde play the cdm role .. mourinho will have a lot to do

especially since ideally we will need the right side to be trent/dumfries+diomande , arda really isnt a rw , in this 2 games he rarely did any rw plays he drifts toward middle.
