I agree 100%, we have wasted far too much money on average players in the past two seasons.
We need to spend money on players that will make a difference if we are going to challenge for Serie A or in Europe any time soon.
There is no point blowing it on players who will make next to no difference to our team.
For those typically dissing Yaya, even if he is DM we dont need in the sense of things (no regista, though would much rather gotten him then Poulsen), I should tell you he isnt entirely just defensive in qualities for those who think that. He is more complete then what we have, box to box mid to who is WAY better then Momo in offensive skills (considerably more refined). He made some great solo goals for Monaco, playing as AM at times. More skillfull then Momo in that regard, way better shooter (can score good freekicks and so on, can do lots Momo cant).
Not saying we should buy him (though me personally, I would be extatic just for the simple fact of having Yaya
), but you should know the whole player before just assuming he is a simple DM and nothing more (I am saying this because I know how common it is to exaggeratingly bad mouth players rumoured to us, Momo was a perfect example).
He is more like a Vieira, having box to box qualities, being able to pass and make mucho ownage offensive raids (every african DM is compared to Vieira, but this guy is the closest clone because he is as complete, the little difference is Vieira is better passer). While someone like Momo can only be compared to Vieira in the defensive sense, but limited in most else. Which I dont mind, he is the boss in that.
Honestly, if two raw DMs is something we must insist on (and not a Xabi as I wish), I would much rather it be Yaya and Momo, two young quality mofos that would own, then a Poulsen who is good still but not close to a Yaya. Zanetti is 33 and will be good enough for now, and I dig him, but not in long term sense.
Now all of this might fall on deaf ears and some of you who havent seen him in Monaco, will just keep assuming his qualities is just a limited DM who sits infront of the defence, because that has been his cleaning duty in a Barca (doubt many seen him before Barca) who has too many offensive players that needs covering (which is a waste, because even though good defensively, you dhont shackle a player like this just to that, he isnt a true DM, but an Essien like player who is box to box). So what I will do is show you this little clip and judge things for yourself:

As you can see, with freedom, he can be absolutely devestating as a box to box midfielder. We give that role to Momo, and its a waste on him because he doesnt have the skills for it, even if his rhino-esque runs are sweet
P.S No am not his agent But just a player that was one of the reasons I used to watch Ligue 1 alot (and its important players are judged for their full qualities, and not the cathegory of position they are assigned to on paper), fucking Barca got both him and Keita
