But if we play 4-2-3-1 he would be eligible for two positons, CAM and RW.
- To play CAM he would be competing with James and probably even Thiago
- To play RW he would be competing with Robben
In the first case, James best position is CAM and he was nº1 in Carlo's shopping list. So regardless of what we think about him (and I think he's gonna be a massive signing), it looks likely that he will be given a starting position in the lineup
In the second case I might be biased, but Robben has been performing at a great level for years while Müller hasn't contributed for more than 12 months. I can't see a good reason to favour Müller over Arjen
And what makes it worse, Müller has never adapted to Carlo's tactics.

Regarding those stats... Stats are always important, but football is not the NBA. If you just look at the stats you might think that Mario Götze was pure class in his first season with FC Bayern
34 games played (18 as sub)
19 goals
14 assissts
But we know that's simply not true, because we saw the games.

Please ... Neymar came to Barcelona for €90M or even more with their mafia and with wages even bigger than the one Lewandowski is earning right now...

At the very high spikes of his performances, he produced strokes of genius comparable to the most gifted technician in football history like Ribery and Messi. For all we know, and personally I'd give him the benefit of the doubt, he was playing with a persistent discomfort due to his muscle disease.
To me, these moments, and some others, are enough to justify my admiration for him. Truly elite showings of technical gift, these are the kind of skills that give rise to the commentator cliché "he makes it look oh so easy". If I ever get a chance to interview Pep my first question would be why this didn't work out.
