15 - Andreas Christensen

If he stays healthy he'll be a crucial back up. His talent and maturity/IQ is undoubted. I'd trust him to break the red card curse any time of the day.
 
Would be magical, if he actually stayed fit for all season, because he indeed, without irony and sarcasm, would be like new LB signing to us in that case as he is higher quality cadre in this position than anybody we could realistically sign. It's just his fragility that basically made him an afterthought and almost forgotten here, while he performs with consistency every time i watched him, even when entering right after recovery. He doesn't seem to need time to "get in form", he's immediately good. Problem is that he breaks after few matches and his season is over. Same story as with Vermaelen - absolutely solid whenever available, but almost never available.
 
I actually don't think anyone expects or counts on him to become a starter for us. He is there to provide experience and depth in case of emergency, just like Tek.

Now if he would reach his old self, he is cleared for LCB spot, but unrealistic imo.
 
Wrong. He would absolutely be starter, if fit, especially against big teams. He's probably our most high-end CB after young talented, but unexperienced Cubarsi. Great to have hard working and reliable guy in Martini still.
 
He is our second best defensive player. I am sure club counts on him because he is one of the only 4 CB options we currently have.

I would start him over Martin anyday if fit even if he is not LCB. He can be Cuba's next Inigo/Laporte.

Now if he will remain fit, that I seriously doubt. That's why we need to get CB if not now in January.
 
Should be a starter when Cuba needs rest. I hope flick realizes just how important rotations are. It’s a big reason why QSG won back to back CL’s.
 
Unlike braindead Gavi, he doesn't forget to play well when returning from injury. Very intelligent player, but sadly his body betrays him. Hope he can stay healthy for longer this time, he's a very solid backup.

If he can get back to his Xavi days level then he could be the secret CB that is actually a very very high level. Might be better to to just give him a game once a week max for now.

He needs to go 3 or 4 months with no injury to be counted on

Hope Flick drops Gerard when Cuba is fit and tries Cuba Christensen partnership.

Don’t let Flick see this

Flick seems to have a strong preference for left footed CBs there so we’ll see what happens but should definitely be tried out. Christensen is our second best defender when fit, which isn’t really saying all that much but he can be very good.
