I'd argue it's costing us goals and him assists. I understand why you'd pick out Ayari, but Welbeck, Rutter and Pedro are also about. Hope it clicks still, he's obviously very good but it hasn't happened since his earlier days, much like Ferguson in a way but he's had fewer opportunities.
I'd refute that argument. If w ehad a couple of great finishers, that we want the opportunity to fall to, then maybe your statement would be correct.
But Welbeck/Pedro/Giorginio aren't that player.

Continually probing for an opening doesn't realy lead to a lot of high Xg opportunities.
The eventual xg from every time we refuse a shot and pass instead is still pretty tiny.
Most of those attacks don't end with a high xg opportunity.
They are far more likely to end without a shot of any description.

Having one player capable of hitting the target from long shots, gives us a variety of threats.

Atalanta have money, they don't splash it about willy nilly but they've made lots of big sales themselves over the last few years.

Similar things were said about Stuttgart, but in the end they coughed up the €30m for Undav that we wanted.
I'm always annoyed when Atalanta are in the race for our players. They have a really good recruitment going and have a habit of turning rough diamonds....erm, more diamondey. They've got themselves into Europe and a title race.

If theyre after a player I'd say its one you want to keep!
