It doesn't matter that he's not the best player in the world, what matters is that he has the qualities that the team is missing. An aggressive midfielder that can cover a lot of ground and offer some options in the final third (unlike even Gattuso in his prime). Boateng is the vice-Ambro, is what i'm saying, I guess, but I have a feeling he's going to quickly push him out of the starting lineup.
