I wouldnt count him out so quickly. He can be a b2b player and is effective already. His shot is good when given the chance but he wont thrive until we dominate play around the box.
I don't want him out. He's not the problem. Surround him with creative players and he'll free them up with his workrate. That ain't helping much if you have Sami, Berna and/or Bentancur next to him though...

That’s why we should aim to sign a player who has close to similar workrate and better ability on the ball.
As long as Matuidi plays LCM, our left side will continue to be predictable and easy to defend against. Ronaldo can’t dribble anymore either and Sandro is not that great going forward. It’s a nightmare combination.
Honestly, I would have loved Barella here. A player with immense workrate who can actually play football.
