Just out of interest , how many of you have actually properly seen some of these players play ? The M'Vila's , the Hazards , the Matuidi's , the subotic's . I don't mean on youtube or just once in an International ,I mean properly seen them play 90mins a few times this season ? Even Neymar , who has seen him play a full game apart from that recent one against Scotland ?
Mostly it seems people just pick the lastest fashionable name for the position they think we need without actually knowing much about the player . Or they base judgement on some manager game .

Seeing them play is irrelevant. For example I doubt Mancini had ever seen Dzeko play before paying 30m for him.
Seriously though, reading the right reports and listening to right people often gives enough information to add players on wishlists like these. I've seen the players I listed play at least a couple of full matches and liked what I've seen but they are also rated by people who know their stuff.
