I just want to elaborate on this a little. Soumare is definitely a 6/CM not a creative 8 type, and I have seen games where he's worked hard. But one reservation I have about him based on the few times I've watched him is that he's not always tenaciously dynamic (or busy) enough. He doesn't always voraciously hunt and bite like say a Kante or Ndidi do.
He is only 20 and having his first full season at this level. And maybe he needs better coaching and developing. But as I said, I really don't think he'd be in the 40-50m bracket.
One of the problems we have right now, is having watched people like Dier and Sissoko clunk around for much of the last two years in our midfield, any cunt who ca combine a bit of tackling, kicking a ball straight and not panicking every time they see it starts to look half sexy to us.
