As a consequence of Kimmich being no #6, we have Goretzka, Gravenberch and bought Laimer, neither of whom is a #6 either.
Alaba thought he was a #8, #10 or #11. Turned out his best position is CB...
But position wasnt the reson he left.
Pretty sure that was just a convenient excuse his PR team used.

And on the issue of DMs; wow they are getting scarce

@wc1934, I was shopping for jerseys (most of mine are a tad too unbreathable) on the Santini website and noticed the following. Pretty sure Santini is based close enough to Bergamo.

Unfortunately, nothing for Napoli. Though nothing for any of the Torinese and Milanese teams either.
