I'm watching Jonjo Shelvey and funnily enough nearly every statistic supports my conclusions, not that you are weak enough to be seduced by anything like actual evidence. But he has "tenacity" which is an unquantifiable and largely pointless attribute.
It's not a ludicrous defence, it is pretty consistent with what a lot of people have said throughout the thread and is once again actually supported.
If you'd said any of:
Dembele
Matic
Inler
Matuidi
Gonalons
Schneiderlein
Wanyama
I wouldn't have disagreed they could play Garcia's role. But you said Shelvey. I'd be surprised if most people in this thread couldn't see why he'd be a useless replacement for Garcia.
Shelvey plays far more advanced role than Garcia so isn't a good example in the first place. Canas does a job for Swansea in Garcia's position, would of cost us a lot less too.
If we're looking for a player to do wat Garcia does but better, surely busquets from barca must be a consideration ??
I think pogba would be a great aquasition , but he more of an all round m/fielder- suitable for 4-4-2
The Everton kid looks good i have to say.
What about that Geoffrey kondogbia - i might have it slightly wrong , was he touted as being the next ya ya, think he was in Spain but may have moved on ?? Only young too ??
