Mehdi Benatia

[Puppet Master Silva]

He's class.


I am solely basing that on Fifa.

His in form card has 80 pace? surely he's a BEAST?

Without doubt! Add to that his 94 defending and 92 heading and we've got one hell of a player on our hands. He shall join 'Beast FC'!

His blue card is 90 overall, surely worth 30 mil?

Is Paul Clenman reliable?

Is FIFA's rating system reliable, I've had my doubts with Yaya only being 86 and Silva 87.

I am glad we have moved on from Mangala, I was excited at first but after those comments he made and the price tag of around 40m euros Porto were giving him it was just a big no for me.

James Horncastle rates Benatia as the best central defender in Europe this season so high praise indeed.

My only concern would be him being a RCD playing on the left, can he make the adjustement? I do think however if you are a ball playing central defender surely you should be able to play either side, players like Lescott who seem to only have on foot I would imagine struggling.

Demichelis did good and he was a right footer.

It's hard for any reporter to be reliable during silly season, but Clenman is usually on the ball. Not always correct, but he properly spotted City's pursuit of Jovetic, Demichelis, and Fernandinho last summer. I'd say there's truth behind what he writes when it comes to City.

They don't matter at all in the real world. But, rest assured, theirs will be much higher in FIFA 15 (and Yaya will have the Prima Donna trait).
