Steinmann is good but replaceable. I think he's easily the best out of him/Devlin/Rufer though. 

but is he? We had Tim Brown (who granted was box to box) and then Lia and Muscat were tried there and we lucked into Reira. Then was Ridenton, then Paracki who we never kept and then a Rufer/Mandi combo. Now we have Steinmann.

DMs (that we want to keep) are not as easy to find as you think.

I would agree that good DMs were hard to find/keep by the old Nix.We were prone to leak goals like a sieve during the Lia / Muscat times. Good that Talay sees the DM role as a key to our success and needs to have a backup in case of injuries and suspensions.  Both Devlin and Wilson are young and will likely end up back across the ditch in a few years.

Agree with others that a natural left footer would be much harder to find if Cacace needs replacement. We have one backup only.

I would agree that good DMs were hard to find/keep by the old Nix. This may change now with the new HAL. Unless I am mistaken, we were prone to leak goals like a sieve during the Lia / Muscat times. I am happy that Talay sees the DM role as a key to our success and needs to have a backup in case of injuries and suspensions.  Both Devlin and Wilson are young and will likely end up back across the ditch in a few years.
