Would cost too much money.
The evolution of our "holding" midfielder.

Yeah he would, but if they went down it would increase our chances - but they won't.
Certainly a player I would love here though.
Even if they went down unless he has an escape clause in his contract, forget it. Ferguson would get in first anyway.

Sandro is the question to which the answer is 42.

I don't trust Sandro with the ball, one of the best things about him is that he wins the ball and moves it on quickly. He doesn't waste time like the others do.

Sandro is actually very good at moving with the ball and passing it. His strength and physicality allows him so muchtime on the ball.

Don't be daft, within 6 months every **** on here would be slagging him off for not being able to execute a 50 yard diagonal down Lennon's throat.

I don't think that would be the case. The **** on here slag players off if they can't make a 5 yard forward ball under no pressure to their CM Partner, instead of running down the pitch and losing the ball.

We need to bring the optimistic button back for posts like these

I don't think he was suggesting we sign him, he exactly the player the OP described.

I'm sure there were ITK reports that he turned us down in the Summer. Plus he's been injury prone this season. Sissoko would have been the obvious choice but if we're not prepared to spend £3.5m on a soon to be out of contract player then there's no way we'll spend approx £20m for someone like Cabaye.

Tiote would have been an option but he's spent a lot of time on the sidelines this season and has had a drastic dip in form ... one season wonder?
We obviously need cover for Sandro and a playmaker ... how about Banega? Yes he's a bad boy but if he can be tamed, he's extremely talented and I think Valencia would happily sell him.

Sorry this made me chuckle, haha.
On a serious note and reply to your point is I think the destroyer in the modern game has to do more than simply tackle. That's the worry regarding Sandro; he isn't very technically adept - This may come in time. Personally, I would like to see the addition of someone like Gundogan (as mentioned above).

Sissoko isn't a playmaker or a "holding" midfielder.

Dembele is highly overated and doesn't score goals or set them up. Flog and pay for Moutinho and let AVB have his man.
Lloris, Walker, Vertonghen, Dawson, Contraeo, Sandro, Moutinho, Griezmann.(socidead spurs have watched many times) Bale CF......... Lennon.
