Unfortunately, whilst the equation balanced out on paper the reality was a different matter.
A point was reached last season where it almost felt sadistic watching some of his performances and understandably his name is high on many a list of players to ship out.
Two things though. Firstly, I think it was Emery who took him to Valencia where he ended up looking like a defender warranting a £42M release clause. Secondly, both him and Koschielny are typically the number two's in a center back pairing as opposed to ideally being a one and two, e.g Bould and Toure were number two's to Adams and Campbell's number one's.
Sokratis is a number one from what I've seen and something we've not had equally as long as a defensive midfielder. Maybe, just maybe, a Sokratis Mustafi partnership can finally provide us with a defense worthy of the name.

Nuno espirito santo who is now manager at Wolves was the man who brought mustafi to Valencia
Emery was at Sevilla by then
