With the arrival of the DM that are often played in pairs, we are witnessing the demise of the midfield maestro of the old school re Alan Ball, Jimmy Melia and Paul Scholes. The only two that I can think of in the PL of the old type are Fabregas and Silva!
 
If we sign Van Dijk, we will have a CB who can also play DM playing behind Romeu, who is a DM who can also play CB. I love the thought of the extra flexibility this will give us.

The strength in depth is getting quite deep now. :)

In case nobody else has posted it, here's what the lad himself had to say:

Romeu said: "After spending two years on loan, I needed something permanent and a club with a future - and I think I chose the right one."

Good lad. Like him already.
