I realize people don't like him and that's justified with the antics he's pulled off with his agent-mother but on the field the guy is very good and still only 24. Juve can contain him and benefit from having a proper CM. 7m net wages for a freebie doesn't sound horrible, he still will be cheap as fuck thanks to no transfer fee.
People who say we're desperate are right, our midfield has been screaming mediocrity for years now. He brings quite a bit of value with himself and he's a massive improvement over Matuidi and Khedira who both should be sold. Then having Ramsey + Rabiot coming in leaves us with 5 CMs which is one man short, so I do expect one more mid to come, regardless of Rabiot and Ramsey (assuming that Khedira and Matuidi actually go).
