He's a steal at £8M. A very astute piece of business.
Unless he's a replacement for Pogba. . .
I really, really hope not. Replace Fernando with Pogba and we're finally getting someone with a neglected area of our team.
As it stands we have Yaya a year older but still the best of the four (if motivated), Fernandinho, Fernando and Delph. I don't think anyone could argue that is a top class midfield. Vidal/Alonso/Martinez (or Lahm), Kroos/Modric, Busquets/Rakitic/Iniesta, Matic/Fabregas/Oscar and dare I say Schweinsteiger/Schneiderlin/Herrera look much stronger on paper than our combinations. But Yaya/Pogba/Fernandinho looks competitive.
