I think that’s the intention but he’s not there yet

Gibbs certainly not going to be the guy and I don’t think Slimane will either. At 10 he can take more risks but when he was playing in deeper midfield he tended to lose the ball in dangerous areas.

The other possibility might be Topic. Maybe he is more suited to a Kenny role than a Mattsson role.
