Yeah, but you don't have to sign a superstar player to provide defensive stability in midfield. How many goals did Holland cencede at the world cup? Their centre midfield consisted of Wijnaldum, De Guzman and De Jong. Where are the superstars there? We already have Herrera and Mata who are better than the less defensive of those three. Add in a decent defensive minded player, willing to do the role asked of him in the system we've decided to play and we'll be grand. It's about the team and how you get the most out of them amd getting them to play together as a team, not signing superstar players just to have a muppet signing.
I'm happy with good players who improve us and who are capable of doing the job we need them to do. Don't get me wrong, I'd love Vidal but I'll not lose any sleep if we don't sign him.
Good man, Nev. A rock of sense, as ever.
