Not a fanboy, just want a player who has something to offer get a chance besides cup games when our midfield is dominated week in, week out to mid table and teams that are barely safe from relegation. If you can actually say he's a worse option than Gundo or Kovacic in the middle, then there's no point having any further discussion because they're the reason we're so open and our backline is always under pressure. There's a reason City and Villa agreed on the fee they did and it wasn't from putting someone who flourishes in a free role out on the wing with no one running wide beyond him.
