I mean you said we could get someone just as effective for less money, i'm just wondering who?
He's young, athletic, strong, quick, can shoot, can pass, can tackle, has some tricks, makes runs forward. I don't know anyone who can do all of those things and is only 23 and has won a fair amount of honours & has champions league & international experience also.
Of course it's not Pogba or nothing, but he's available, we can afford him and he's one of those players you have to try and get when the situation arises.
