It's ridiculous to compare Fabinho with attacking players.
I judge him generally without looking at his position. Mané and Salah did cost the same and came to play, right away. Shaq was much more inexpensive than Fabinho and is looking better overall, showing potential. Keita was more expensive but also showed huge potential so far. Fabinho just looks very ordinary, kind of Jordan Henderson or James Milner, just slower and less decisive. Of course I might have said the same about Ox, so I do not write Fabinho off here, but it begins to smell a little bit, because I thought he'd be a downright improvement to our midfield, just like Mané and Salah for our offense.
