Well, duh. Amrabat is an alright looking defensive midfielder for a mid table Italian club. Anyone saying themselves otherwise is probably deluding themselves. The type of teams interested in him as a starting level player illustrate that. Atletico would've probably been in for him in a similar way we will use him.
We're mostly after him because he's somewhat cheap, somewhat of a plaster signing over a position in the squad, and has played under the manager before. He's also mega keen on the move which is making this emergency signing a lot easier.
