yup, he's such a powerful player and a great shield. Think you missed him quite a lot last season, whilst he doesn't have that passing range that Dier has, he's far more athletic and strong and defensive imo than Dier and him and Wanyama was terrifying midfield Duo.
I'm guessing he hasn't really got over his knee injury which will probably plague him as i can't see poch being happy to let him go if he was fully fit.
It will mean that you boys could struggle a lot in terms of who starts in the midfield 2 (dier + 1) and that's before we go on about the depth that will be there!.
