Yes he was.

Got over 10 goals and over 10 assists as captain of Sevilla from cm. Has passing stats similar to Ozil at Real from a deeper position.

It's a gamble but not a huge one considering United's other midfield options. Could've picked up someone better than Benteke, though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agreed on both counts.

Left with a foursome of Khedira, Fabregas, Toulalan and Verratti. All world class CM's. And Benteke is better than Balotelli who I really wanted to see do well for Liverpool but he's just awful.

Di Maria had 11 goals and 26 assists...

Di maria had no where near that in the league

Never mind he plays in a more advanced position, with far far better players around him

18 in the league.

Its natural for Rof to like the players I've let go. He assembled the squad.

But I've got to try and win trophies while making changes, otherwise he'll get the credit if I do.

I'm kicking myself for not bringing in Toulalan.

Was always going to happen Marky

That one just annoyed me though, and the fact you've not negotiated a single one of my offers when I've been offering good deals. You needed Baines more than Bentekeb in my opinion, Telles can barely get a game for Gala

Ok, Toulalan isn't a world class CM, but he is a world class DM.

Name 10 better out and out DM's than him.

I wanted specific players. Not the ones you offered. Such is the game.

What is classed as a dm is so so subjective it's hardly worth trying
----------------------------------------------------------------------
True.

I mean at breaking up play and getting attacks started. Very good at his job.

attacking midfielders in my possession

kroos
rakitic
koke
de bruyne
kagawa
calhanoglu

Careful Ludy, he's a CM not an attacking midfielder

I want Calhanoglu, Ludy.

both rakitic and kroos can play cm too so it's cool

He is but I'd rather have Schneiderlin

Longer term value, hg, seen as superior by most I'd imagine
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure he would be seen as superior, has no longevity. Also regarding long term value, how long will we all be playing to appreciate any long term values?
