Oh for sure. Think he has that skill set though. Amorim does that 343 double pivot thing, and one of the midfielders is usually pretty central protecting that back 3. Don’t think LFC have anyone that really does that at the moment. Prime Fabinho would have ate though. I like Martel, think he has some tools
Grooming Martel behind Endo in that kind of a role could well work out nicely, and I agree that he has very interesting potential between his physical tools, skillset, and mind...I just don't want to risk him overstepping whenever he leaves Köln lol.
Even with Pavlovic emerging for Bayern, Can showing a new level last season, and Andrich being a very solid option atm, I worry about Martel's development stalling because CB & the 6 are the two positions we have the least depth in.
A lot will depend on whether Köln stays up. As they won't be selling any regulars this summer because they're facing a transfer ban, unless players' relegation clauses can be activated...which most established first leaguers have.
