Playmaker

And we had another year worked into the deal where we could have acquired him this coming summer for I think two or three million more than we did this past summer.

And if we're just letting him sit on the bench and just kind of rot away and not develop, It just makes so little sense, especially when, you know, we keep seeing Zielinski in this Regista role, and the last couple of matches he has been better.

I think certainly the team structure, he benefits from that a lot, more so than even Chalunoglu.

But, you know, we could use somebody in there that's a little bit harder defensively, and I think he's still a fairly good passer as well.

And it's clear that Kivu doesn't think...

Stankovic can play as the box-to-box midfielder.

He's kind of pigeonholed him into the strictly Regista role, which is fine.

I mean, he's played kind of as a central defensive midfielder for Bruges last season, for seemingly his entire career.

Yeah, both of us, I think.

That he has the creativity and the ability further up the pitch to have more of an impact than as the Regista.

Italy has such a goddamn obsession with the Regista since fucking Pirlo retired.

Just give it up.

Yeah.

And also the game has changed so much since then.

Of course.

I mean, I remember for years how Fiorentina was crying out for Regista, and they're like, well, it looks like Amrabat can keep the ball moving and get it going.
