All of that and they didn't even consider his injury track record?
Mostly because we don't have someone who fits that role well and because we lack creativity. The hope was that Arthur would become the ideal Pjanic replacement but he's simply too inconsistent. Loca can play there but he plays better when given greater license to go forward like A B2B. This dilemma explains our lack of creativity in the midfield. I wouldn't mind Jorginho, or alternatively Brozovic who can provide some good defensive quality to the midfield.

Its true Locatelli is better as B2B but he has some nice skill set to allow being used in this position.
Someone like Pogba would really make our mid more dangerous and connect better with our forwards.
On the other hand I see Jorginho helping with possession football but then when we need a final ball or a shot outside the box we only have Locatelli there.
What Im saying is we will create better with a Pogba/SMS/Other attacking minded midfielder than with Jorginho while we will control the game better in terms of being organized with someone like Jorginho.
Given these 2 options I go for the one that can make us more dangerous
