As good as Toure is, I don't think that's his best position. He quite often gets caught in possession or makes a stray pass. When he runs from deep, it looks impressive when it comes off. When it doesn't, it leaves us exposed. That was part of our downfall last season. He obviously prefers to be further up the pitch to create the most damage. I feel that's where he is most effective. He has a good touch for such a big unit, his shooting with either foot is good and is a quality dead ball specialist.
Delph and Fernandinho will be the 2 first choice holding players at the moment. Pogba is an upgrade on both.
De Bruyne isn't an upgrade on Toure, Silva or Sterling.
The whole idea was only to get players who were better than what was already in place.
