Pace in the midfield/final third is one of our only weaknesses. The other is experience. Jansen hinders both of these weak points in our game.
It's a shame because he is a Gibbsyish player. Strong, determined and can (gasp) keep up the ball. But I was already complaining about our combined pace issue via the outfield spine (Dier/Dembele/Eriksen/Kane) or link up play from midfield to attack (Dembele/Eriksen/Lamela/Kane).
Son's PACE IMO was criminally underrated by pundits at the end of the season. The extra burst of pace really helped the linkup play between Alli/Kane/Eriksen. So the last thing our squad needs is another attacker that is slow off the mark.
I'm hoping we sign pace/experience/intelligence/set piece taker. I'm not usually hoping players go out the door in recent years, but I think we are pace/experience/intelligence from being the next Utd. I think Jansen and Winks out and spend big on those areas and we will shatter domestic and European records over the next decade.
IMO Eriksen stalking just outside the box when someone whips in one of the MANY MANY corners we win will be an awesome option. More competition for Eriksen re set pieces will up his game too hopefully.
