You are definitely right with this.
Not replacing Modric effectively is our biggest mistake in recent years. Slightly off topic, but relevant to your post, I am not sure Schneiderlin is a good enough replacement.
I think Dembele has the attributes to be that middle man though - he just needs to bloody show it more in his performances!
If it had been easy to find an effective replacement for Modric, Chelsea and Real would probably have signed him rather than Modric.
