Nelson isn't a midfielder lol. I think given the profile of left 8 options between Fabby V, ESR, and Havertz, we're making it into 2 10s on the pitch and giving the lone 6 even more defensive responsibility. Havertz would fit very well in a second striker kinda role.
Nelson is a winger but I rate his awareness and ability to track back higher than Havertz. He might not be as physically imposing, but he has the tenacity needed for the role. We'll see how this works out. Does lemmy have a reminder bot and tags? I'd love to set a wager. Havertz is gonna be a stinker for Arsenal. He'll have the worst xG and big chances missed. If he has a positive xG to goals ratio, you can give me a tag of your choice, if not I'll choose a tag for you for next year's transfer window.
I'm not making bets lol especially given he hasn't even been announced; also idek if you can do flairs on this. Besides, xG doesn't define players; otherwise Jesus would be the worst striker we've had in some time.
