We need an entire midfield. We basically got 1.75 midfielders.
Pjanic counts as 1
Bentacur as 0.5
Matuidi as 0.2
Khedira as 0.05
I am not saying we have a similar midfield to 2015 but I think you underrate our midfield a bit
Pjanic is WC and there is no doubt about it
Bentancur - Honestly I dont know why he isnt a starter yet
Can is definitely a good CM if you like him or not
Matuidi - I personally dont like this type of player as he doesnt has anything special in him but he does run like a maniac on the field and he contributes in his own way
Khedira - Now we are at the fun part - Yeah Khedira isnt half the player he used to be but despite what some here say he isnt a bad player..
Sturaro was a bad player - The only reason to put him on the field is to show some physicality
Khedira is not playing that bad when on the field and he also scores from time to time - Yeah I definitely want an upgrade to our midfield as we all know we need one but I disagree with the claim that no player is better than having Khedira!
Last summer we sent Sturaro who was definitely an awful player away. We also sent Marchisio who we all like but due to his condition was more of a liability (mostly injured)
Next summer we need to ship Khedira, I will not argue about it but some here make it sounds like he is such a terrible player that he scores own goals and lose too many balls in key position and thankfully its not the case
