You don't have to justify it, I'm just asking where you'd play him for us. I assume you have a reason for wanting him other than he is a good player.I don't get why you have to ask the question though like I have to justify my opinion to you?
I just think he has been their best player whenever I watch them and the question was who would you sign and he was my answer. He would offer a creative spark in the team off the bench that we sorely lack, whether it's in the 10 role or coming off RW, or even a central option.
We are trying to build a balanced squad and that means buying players for positions we actually need them first and foremost. Just stockpiling good players is the reason Chelsea are where they are, lots of quality individuals with very little squad balance.
He also doesn't help their cause by selling him cheap. He cost £40mil last Summer and they'd need to sell him for a lot more than that to ease their financial woes. We are in a good spot right now as far as being able to spend is concerned and I'd like that to continue.
