I don't think I've ever watched him, but if he's as good as people on here and pundits all say he is, then with Vinny, Otomendi and Mangala, and a young hungry Denayer who will push them all and be breathing down their necks, I'd say we have one of the best central defensive line ups/options in world football. In fact, can anyone other than Real Madrid boast anything better?
I see MDM playing the Lampard/Pizzaro/Viera role of recent seasons within the squad, where we have an extremely experienced player who bridges the gap between management and players, and is used sparingly on match days (albeit with great effect when used) in midfield to close out games and as backup in defence if needed, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him stay on as a coach when he hangs up his boots in a year or two.
Get Otamendi and De Bruyne in and we may just have a Champions league semi-final squad on our hands - and if you're in the semi, who knows what could happen.
Got a feeling this could be our year.
