No, he isn't a new Bogarde because Malouda is still an excellent squad player to bring in. If Mata or Hazard pick up an injury, he is a perfect player to throw in. He can play anywhere in the midfield three, wide left or even as an auxiliary left-back if Cole and Bertrand are out. That sort of versatility is what wins titles - you can have all this quality in the first eleven, but it is the strength-in-depth that truly describes a team.
