Lots of talk about who is going to replace Hojbjerg in the squad.
Harrison Reed...? Maybe...
Weston McKinnie...? Looking doubtful...
Maybe the answer is right under our nose...?
I keep hearing how promising this Jankewitz lad is so could this be his breakthrough year...? If he's as good as people say he is, why would we want to block his path by buying in a Hojbjerg replacement?
It's not as if he's a "boy" any more... He's 19 this year and is already over a year older than Obefemi was when he made his PL debut (for example).
Yes, I hear the cries of "you can't expect an inexperienced youngster to jump straight into the shoes of an experienced pro"... I get that.... but if we look at our top 3 form in the post-lockdown portion of the season, our 1st choice CM pairing was JWP and Romeu. We actually played better without Hojbjerg. So, it could be said that we're not actually looking for a 'starting 11' replacement for Hojbjerg.
To my mind, if this Jankewitz fella is the bees knees, then he needs to start getting first team exposure sooner rather than later....
edit: just read that article in the post above.... would appear Ralph is on the same wavelength..... ""I think he's the next young guy for us, this is our way"
