Yeah Im not exactly upset at the specific loss of Mo for free, but more the absurdity of Real floating this makes it seems like a signal to make a bigger point
Apart from not being English, from what I have seen I rate Baleba higher than Wharton and atm Wharton has had quite a few injuries, plus Baleba is close to Grav in being able to beat a press, break the lines through dribbling/moving with the ball.
Depending on price he would be a good consideration as a future signing and the other major positive is that it’ll piss off Man U fans
Slot has been surprisingly open in discussing the difference in what Grav offers us at the 6 compared to what he was looking at Zubi to bring and contrasted them as players who were more likely to progress the ball through the defensive lines via passing or dribbling. Wharton vs Baleba seems to have the same sort of contrast in profiles.
