Yeah they are awful source
Same source that keeps pushing the Vazquez story, desperately trying to create a market for their players.
On the other side, we don't have a bid budget and other positions like LB and Winger are more important at the moment.
No, they aren't. Remember the games without Ramsey? Importance of a new CM gets underestimated imo.
He was important because he was creative & carried the ball into the last third of the pitch. No need to be "an engine" though. Don't care about Ceballos, this rumour is nonsence anyway.Ramsey was important because he was an engine. Ceballos is not an engine.

No technique or IQ but he was wanted by Ferguson, played here for 10 years and has now joined a club ten times better than us.Flamini was an "engine" too. No point of having fitness and mobility if you havent got the technical ability or footballing IQ required.

He had a lot of technique and IQ when he was young, but after the injury, he decided to abandon all of them, to develop his boring **** engine style of play.No technique or IQ but he was wanted by Ferguson, played here for 10 years and has now joined a club ten times better than us.
Flamini was a defensive midfielder who focus on protecting the back four when everyone was attacking. Just like gattusso, makelele, he doesn’t need much of the technique to be in that position.Flamini was an "engine" too.

It will be great to have them as well but you lost a bit of a physical presence at a position that requires it too. So I would say they are different kind of players, not necessarily better or worse but depending on how you set up your tactics.Having a DCMs with Technique & ball playing ability helps e.g Pep has always gone for one ( Lahm, Busquests,Gundogan, Rodri Fernandinho).
