Here's my issue, he's on 90k pw so we will have to at least match that, he looks on the slide physically. He plays DM yet is a rubbish defensive player - and if he arrived then that's "the DM sorted" when we will still have a huge weakness there...
Basically just what I said really. He already does the things Gana does (win the ball at an elite level) but has room to grow in the passing department.

Someone to cover the gaps behind them
Someone who can pass to them
Soucek, who over the last two seasons has been bottom ~25% for tackles among midfielders and bottom ~10% for progressive passes among...
