I dont think he's awful, a bit rash yes, but not awful, i don't think he is the kind of player we needs though. Mascherano is the type of player we need. Who is available with similar characteristics?
Also, perhaps a move for Cabaye could make sense, he is warming the bench at PSG.
As good as he was, he was a massive liability also - the free kicks he gave away in and around the box were suicidal and cost us points at times... a roughly polished Lucas in my eyes.
Another Didi Hamaan would be an absolute blessing.
