Yeah, who used to fill in for MVP whenever one of them was injured? Padoin and Giaccherini. At least most of our mids now look to have some upside. It's still hard to say what the limitations of Asamoah and Lemina are unlike the aforementioned duo. Besides, going by their performances last season, Marchisio, Pjanic and Khedira aren't really that far off Pirlo, Vidal and Pogba.
