I have touched on this a little bit, but to round things off properly I want to focus a little more on Kokes all-round ability. We have already touched on his creative ability to some extent with the assists that he has provided this season, but its worth noting that he has also provided 2.1 key passes per match in La Liga that ranks him ninth in the league in that category. The player though isnt exclusively about creating chances as he has also scored four league goals this season, as well as taking 1.3 shots per match with an average rating of 7.47. The player certainly offers some very good skills that would be a serious asset to the Man Utd midfield. Being a Spanish player, he is also decent in possession of the ball with an over 80% passing success ratio per match. Everything discussed in this slideshow paints a pretty clear picture on what he would offer Moyes, and although some people may feel he is not the answer sometimes solutions come from unusual sources. I often feel that there is often too much information and debate on what such a team needs, but the bottom line is that all teams just need good players, and judging by this data Koke is a very good player. I mentioned Ozil earlier and I remember some discussion when he signed suggesting that he wasnt what Arsenal needed, yet the Gunners are now sitting on top of the Premier League largely due to his influence. Its also worth mentioning that Koke has played most of his games on the left wing, showing how adaptable he might be in fitting into Uniteds system.
