I agree with you on some points but he is not as awful as you make him out to be but if thats your opinion that fine i just like the fact that he can play any position in the midfield maybe not to your standard but you need these kind of players in your team he is not the first on your team sheet neither mine but like chadli very versatile and could be important if our team become ravaged with injuries.
Never said he was awful. I am calling him very average. Yes it is my opinion, but it seems to be reflected in his previous transfer value, his current transfer estimates, and his being shopped around by the team. At least I think those all point to the view about his ability.
You do need these kind of players on your team. You need depth, but you don't need THIS player specifically. I think especially if Schniederlin and JRod come in, there will be no room for him as he's all ready not very crucial.
I think we have Paulinho, Chadli, Dembele and now mason if we are looking for versatility. But again all just my opinion and assessment of the current goings ons being reported.
