Player Valuation: £70m
Yeah I like Allan surrounded by others with mobility he is fine, but as you say he needs to be a rotation player he is getting on. Also from now on any midfielder we buy needs to have the mobility for this league that's where we have fallen down so often the key characteristic of midfield in this league are mobility, physicality and dynamism. We keep buying your Gomes, Sig, Delph, Morgan types slow slow midfielders that are more suited to slower leagues...Yeah, Alan though would be a good back up to a new 6, sort of give the squad all round confidence in that position being in capable hands come what may.
Alan's probably getting to that stage of his career where he can still play a vital role without flogging his body all the time
Alan as back up is the type of thing that can lifts side a few positions higher over the course of the season.
