I think its interesting if he goes for the 2 players in front of the defence.
If he had a 'star' DM like a Busquets hes said before he would only play 1 there...so it seems like he will keep one of our existing players there and add in another.
Zakaria is interesting. He seems totally different to doucoure to me...more someone who sits back and positions himself to give and receive simple passes. Doucoure is all about power.
Key is that at 21 Zakaria is a long term option who can be moulded into a position.
Really? I think they have similar qualities. Zakaria runs forward with the ball and gets forward quite a bit. Doucoure does run with the ball a lot more, but Zakaria seems comfortable doing so. He had good passing range as I recall if that's the concern. He might just look slower, I'm not sure, but I didn't think N'Zonzi when he was playing - keep in mind, he used to be a striker, so he definitely has more of a nose for goal.
I do recall him playing for BMG last year and he definitely stood out. That being said, he's like 6'3", so that might be why he stood out.
