Benji‘s ability was never in question - he has won everything there is to win as a protagonist in the respective squads and this with only 26 years of age. He was also the most consistent player in a rather messy Bayern side last season without matter which coach or system was involved.
The only way I would have agreed on passing on Benji would have been if we got Azpilicueta for free, Samardzic in midfield, and someone else than Arnautovic (higher quality) upfront. In that case we would have improved in more important positions, as I think that a combination of Azpi and Darmian as RCB would have been competitive enough.
