Not quite a DM. More box to box, with good passing skills.

I said at the start of the summer that I was hoping for 3 signings down the 'spine': CB, CM, AM.
Therefore I would welcome this signing.

Equal, worse or better than we have?

No, they're reporting that A Bola have said we've bid £27m.

Seri is 26 later this month, not that long-term.

Equal I suppose but also adds something different. If Dier plays more in defence next season, another CM would come in handy IMO. Lots of games. Dembele is like a vintage Rolls Royce nowadays. Supreme when he plays but can't be relied on to do 200 miles on the motorway.

Thx mate. I noticed on the vid he is good on the ball. Something we don't necessarily have then by looks and sounds of it
He's also solid on free kicks and penalties. Which are small fine tuned skills that could be useful in case Eriksen/Son/Kane suffer an injury spell and we need more players to step up to handle them.
If he signs I see him as a alternative/compliment to Eriksen mainly. And we need depth and he also brings with him a champions and winner mentality. He also loves the physical aspects of the games and leads from the front ala Parker so he'd do us good in that aspect.
As for the age thing, he's 28. Not that old all things considered.

Really can't see this happening his age and fee would suggest to me that this is a no goer.

We've spent loads of money on sub-30 year olds before in recent history? Soldado, Sissoko, Silva? Yes? Marvellous.
On the flip side we need experience to balance out the youth in the squad. We need to bring in guys who've won trophies and been champions to further instill that type of mentality in the club. Guys like Onomah and Winks would benefit from training and working with him.
And he's only 28. He's got a good 4-5 years left in him bar a freak injury.
We're obviously on a budget so getting someone like a Pepe or a Ibrahimovic or such is out of the ballpark. But Silva is within our pricerange and is someone who I think would enhance the squad

Naturally, but I think we can stop the party line of "we would never spend XM on somebody of Y age." We clearly would. Over and over again.We have indeed but look how they turned out yes? Marvellous?
