He can play with Xhaka. I think technically and tactically he's a cut above anyone we have, and he's a lot more mobile than he's given credit for. I don't know what else to say really. He's not the player I'd spend £80 million on, but we don't have £80 million. We have some scraps and a day left of the transfer window. How is it a bad thing to add one of the best passers in Europe to a midfield that literally can't string three passes together? He's not the fastest player, but that's just one aspect out of many to factor in. We have plenty of players who are quick enough on their feet and it counts for nought because they take four touches on the ball, because they turn like ferry boats, or because they can't spot a passing lane.
Have you guys watched Chelsea these past two years? Because he has easily carried that midfield, maybe a little less so after Mount emerged. Lampard getting rid of him and signing fucking Declan Rice instead is just hilarious.
