I guess I could see a club like ManU taking the gamble since he may well turn into the best midfielder in the game, period, if he can stay healthy.
Strootman is that good? I haven't even seen many of his games, I'm just curious here. I didn't realize he was that highly thought of.

Yeah, before his injury he was the player Roma and the Dutch NT were pretty much building their future around (particularly Holland as Van Gaal).
He was usually mentioned among the best handful of midfielders coming up but I think many were even surprised at how much he blossomed instead of needing adjusting to moving up from Eredivisie to Serie A.
Hard to compare as he's a true box to box that's both excellent defensively (Garcia nicknamed him "il lavatrice -- or "the washing machine" for cleaning up in midfield) but quite a smooth passer in the final third as well.
Really very talented all around but I think managers go so crazy for him as he's just so polished in his reading of the game.
