What about Ki Sung Yeung as a replacement for Cabaye? He has left Swansea so no transfer fee required. Always looks a neat and tidy player for Swansea and what I have seen of him in the World Cup and has a good shot on him.

A little too slow for my taste and rapidly approaching 30, but not a bad central midfielder.

WTF does that actually mean? He respects the hotel room at away games? He always leaves his used kit carefully folded in the changing room? He's always smartly dressed and has a sharp haircut? It's the most over-used meaningless phrase ever dreamt up, especially "tidy" which seems to have become ubiquitous.

Neat and tidy means a player (usually a central midfielder) passes well over 90% of the times.

Which is pretty true according to these statistics:

If you click on the PS% (pass success percentage under "Passing" ) , Ki Sung Yeong is the tidiest central midfielder after Delph, Dembele, Gundogan, Fernandinho, Wijnaldum, Kante and David Silva (wow, he plays more advanced too!). Of course there are a few center backs between them but it's much easier for them to pass the ball between them.

Is there a debate? It seems like we are just discussing him as a player, which does seem to be the point of the forum.
