Damn, we really assembling a thug squad. Suarez KPB Vidal here we go. Too bad Paulinho is gone.
BBZ will love him btw.
I didn't read all the posts.
I would rather have Morata since I think that he is a better footballer, but Boateng is ok-ish.
He was good at Las Palmas.
But I remember him from World Cups and AC Milan days.
I always thought: this guy is crazy. He was so fast and strong, dominant and imposing on a field, always getting in chances like some kind of a speedy ghost.
But once when he did get into chances, he wasn't too lethal.
He had tons of those shots when you go for strength in shooting instead of smart and precise shot.
So, he would get into chances easily but then he would usually skyrocket shots.
Also, an interesting stat is that all EV's wishes were tall, strong and hardworkers: Paulinho, Boateng, Willian.
I like this coach

This was long time ago, but Boateng was once quite a crazy player:
