Saul Niguez, Yea Or Nay

This season seems like it's his worst so far but his defensive stats previously are actually good.

19/20 season - 2.7 tackles and 1.6 interceptions. 1.4 dribbled past

18/19 - 2.5 tackles and 1.3 interceptions. 1.5 dribbled past

17/18 - 3.7 tackles and 1.5 interceptions. 1.8 dribbled past.

I haven't watched much of him though and he was apparently bad this season. From the little I've seen he seems more like a sillier version of Fred

 
We need a holding midfielder (Matic replacement) more than we need a box-box player to compete with Fred/McTominay. Saul would be an upgrade on the latter two players, but we probably have too much work to do elsewhere to spare the budget for it.
 
Not sure how it gets ignored how completely pointless he has been for Chelsea. Just seen him come on and remembered he exists.

I have been genuinly surprised by his existence about 3 times this year
 
In a season of walking into every rake around, at least we avoided this one.
 
Was shocked to see him on the pitch when I eventually tuned in. Completely forgot they had signed him.

Would be a good solution for 40 million. Hasn't had a good season but his he's still a complete midfielder with the perfect allround skillset and well-suited to the Premier League. His impact would be similar to Ander Herrera's, which to me is a compliment.

Not for me
 
There's a huge difference between a midfielder being good enough for a team looking to win the PL and CL and us currently. He can't be any worse than Pogba was at the weekend as an option off the bench.
