Player Valuation: £70m
3rd best defence in the league this season currently. Mainly without him and with Keane.He's the man and his effect on the team is as expected. We play higher, are less vulnerable on the transition, and are better on the ball.
One wonders where we'd be if he'd been fit all year?
Has to be worth 5-10 points when the counterfactual is Kegman and the 20+ extra goals we concede over the course of a season when starts (or so the stats indicate)
For me, he allows us to play 5/10 yards further forward than having Keane, whilst still keeping the defensive solidity. Thats where he is important.
