And our back 3 was very fragile last year, so we had to add someone else, and honestly, who better at that price than Benatia? The attack is one of the top attacks in the world now, with the additions of Higuain and Pjaca.
Something has to give, as we are not at the financial level where we can have WC at every single position. Not yet, but we are getting there. Will the midfield be worse if Pogba leaves? OF course? Will it be bad? Hardly. Far from it. With the arrival of Pjanic, to go along with the development of Lemina, combined with what we already have, and if Matuidi comes, then our midfield will be very good. Assuming that Matuidi can fit in and be that box-to-box pitbull that the midfield really needs.
