Not only that, think of presence. Moutinho is smaller than Osman.
Moutinho 5ft 7
Arteta 5ft 9
Pienaar 5ft 9
Osman 5ft 8
All lightweight
Stoke, Bolton and Blackburns of the Footballing world.
Imagine defending set pieces...

Umm Fellaini?
As good as he is, he's just one player. Moyes said his presence is one of the key reasons he brought him here. Do we counteract it now with a player smaller than Osman?
Looking at our back four for next season, I suspect it could resemble something like this;
Hibbert - Heitinga - Jagielka - Baines
All quite small for a Premiership defence, none are over 6ft. Then stick a player in Moutinho smaller than Osman in our midfield with, Arteta, Osman, Pienaar, Neville - all again under 6ft. In fact, our strongest side with Moutinho in the team would have just two outfield players over 6ft. Fellaini and Saha (or Yak). That has to be a concern.
I hear what you are saying- but Jags and Jonny dont exactly jump like they are under 6' I have seen them beat players in the air who are a good few inches taller. Neither of which are exactly light weight.
I think it must just be me hearing people say 'size doesnt matter babe' all the time

It was a very good point above that our midfeild in very small in stature except for fellaini. However, I'd rather add Moutinho to it and take out Osman because simply he's a better passer,better presence and he has very good work ethic. Portugese players always add a bit of flair so why not.
Have a look at the Spurs game and time and time again Pienaar couldn't battle with Palacios being too small and even osman for that matter but if you are clever enough to pass it better and to some flickons it doesn't matter if you are small.
Realistically I do not see Yannick Djao or Mout arriving for the obvious reasons or is Moysey planning on selling someone special, I hope not!

5 man midfield?
Moutinho .. Pienaar .. Fellaini .. Arteta .. Yannick ?
Rotate Bilyaletdinov, Rodwell, Cahill, Nev and Osman?
It's the equivalent of someone asking us to sell our best 2 midfielders. Sporting would laugh ...... and then remind us we were crap.
We don't need Moutinho, though Yannick is interesting for the wings. Would they have looked so good had we tried to play though?
Goat is going to be upset here that you've teased him yet again.

This.
I also would hate to be rotating billy,rodwell all the time. I wanna see their top potential asap! Billy has arguably the best shooting ability atm in our side from midfield

Rodders will not fetch these figures.
We are kidding ourselves here.
I'm much more concerned with Pienaar leaving. We've also been linked with the young German lad, so not sure we should be reading anything into this latest article.... or the other lads one either.

I don't think we'd be bidding for Veloso, so Yannick and Moutinho's price tag would be around 20/22M.
Still, I think Yannick is a big, big mistake.
