Nainggolan would be the ideal replacement for Matic. He is as good or even better at defending than the Serb and in addition to that he is much better when it comes to holding the ball in tight spaces or shooting. And we exactly need more players who are comfortable with the ball to make the next step as a club in order to compete with Europes top clubs again. I mean Kante is decent on the ball, but to see Matic struggling against the likes of Burnley, Swansea with his passing is nerve wrecking and even more so when we play against PSG and the likes.

I also believe we can get more years out of Nainggolan than from Matuidi, because the latter is a player who profits extremely from his stamina and speed, both attributes tend to cease in the last years of a footballers career.

Nainggolan would be *the* perfect partner for Kante. No other player in any top club offers equally good defense and offense. Yet he does. In fact, Roma fans are calling for him to be their new captain ahead of De Rossi, which is crazy considering the context and importance De Rossi holds there. However, this is one of the few top players these days who genuinely loves the club he's at. He wants to be captain as much as the fans want him to be captain, yet they all still fear that the shitty board will sell him. However again, everyone in the club from the board to the manager are adamant that he won't go for anything under Pogba's price, considering he's genuinely and truthfully twice the player. He's about as marketable as my big toe, though.
