Holtby is 3rd in the Bundesliga in assists behind Muller and Reus
He's a much better player than Dempsey and Sigurdsson
He's not replacement for Sandro, but he gives them a much needed 3rd option as a CM (even if he would be better played as a number 10)
Anyone who watched the Leeds game yesterday knows Huddlestone is useless, Livermore isn't very good, Carroll is young
in a pinch Holtby could play beside Dembele/Parker and be more effective, Raphael Honingstein has said he is a lot like Modric who will likely be moved to a deep lying playmaker over the next few years
