This guy is a bit of an unknown player, I doubt anyone here have seen him live more than 5 times including myself. However for 35m euros I would certainly hope he is good as that is the type of fee you pay for someone that is in top 10 in the world in their position. Can't really go off statistic and highlight either because he is a CDM and not an attacking mid.

Lets just hope he turns out to be a Willian/Matic and not Afonso Alves/Zhurkov

Ahum .... He was always played much more attacking then he was once in Zenit. Believe me, he is class. Technical, strong on the ball, good passer, dangerous when he gets in the box as well AND very consistent, very. I just don't get why Zenit positioned him so defensive. Maybe because he is so good at holding the ball.

I think he slows the game down to much in a pure 6 position like he did in Zenith or some games in the NT. If he is aptly fit to play a position, i think it is the 8. He also could the 10 - done it in the NT and Standard Luik

We could use him very, very well.

I like his size and athletics but not really sure what are his actual strengths... Seems like a bit of a utility guy rather than a specialist.

He could replace cesc in the starting 11 when jose parks the bus....

Very technical, very good on the ball, very consistent. Also, workhorse kind of guy. I think he would slot in amazing next to Matic - what a pivot that is ..... [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji7][emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]

ya I see that but I'm still not sure he has a role he specializes in if he does come to us. I mean one person mentioned he would be amazing next to Matic in the way Luiz was, while in my head I'd like to believe that, does he have the ball winning ability?

He's an upgrade to Mikel for sure but I don't think he makes our midfield complete.

1. Its givemesports

2. the "journalist" looks 17.

why even bother posting this?

As an insight into some of the nonsense that gets quoted on social media as "fact". Your right tho, I really shouldn't take away from top notch conversation on here by posting trivial shite [emoji16]

Interesting... Can he pass the ball well enough to keep Cesc out?

So, we need a set peice maestro, which Hazard is not. I guess Willian could fill the void.
