I haven't really seen much of Imbula. How would he compare to a player like... Say... Kovacic ?
i cant compare him with kovacic.. but i compare him with Kondogbia
Imbula is a CDM who can dribbling and shooting like yaya toure..
If you want strenght and tackling then Kondogbia is your man. If you want pace(at least a little bit more), passing while tackling then Imbula is your man.
Something else you have to consider is work rates. If you want a true CDM then I would probably pick Kondogbia since Imbula has a high offensive work rate, so he's more like a box to box midfielder IMO.
i think he worth 25m cause he only 22...
