Sorry cannot agree on Retre, a passenger who has no idea about shutting down an opposing player and does not get involved enough. Then when he is in possession looks to go back far too much. In summary a poor player.
I'd say he's the least impactful of the guys I'd be prepared to keep as a starter. But he's in the right place mostly, experienced, not prone to dangerous give away turnovers. Not the fastest and is tidy linking play, as I see him.
Sure, replace him with better. Or see a Cassidy, or LKH or other force their way into that spot.
I just see him as tidy and competent enough and, with Nagasawa, CAM, striker, LBS, Rufs or replacement you have enough quality and impact to have one of your mids in more of the linking and adjusting sort of role. Plus he has that shot if given a bit of space.
But sure, everybody has their views. We could potentially do better. But you have a cap and a budget, so not every starter can be ideal.
