That would all but guarantee a Fabinho and Gomez pairing for Ajax. When I look at Fabinho I honestly see some similarities to Sergio Ramos. Both play with the versatility for right back, CD and DM. And while Ramos has a dead soul, Fab has certainly shown some bad assery in his day. The only thing I worry about is the durability in the EPL. Especially now when keepers are allowed to mug players without penalty. I don't really hate people, but if I did, Ramos would be right up on that list. But I give him credit as one of the greatest defenders of his generation. And I wonder if he could regularly deal with the physicality of the EPL.

But in Champions League, I have supreme confidence in Fab at center back. I truly think his career just changed.
