Yup. After those sagas over the past couple of years and Vidal seemingly happy here I didn't quite expect this either. I'm not happy about this if it happens, but signing a good LB, which we will need anyway because of Evra's advanced age, and then a proper #10 and Asamoah back to CM seems a solid solution.
Like I said though... It'll all depend on the quality of the AM.
Salvo's got it all figured out.
