Fair enough. I think you're probably right that most people don't think he's good enough.
I do. I think if you're looking to strangle a team by controlling posession then he's an asset. That's likely to happen in the UCL so he'll be worth a squad place.
For whatever reason he looked really comfortable last week for the first time in years. It's worth seeing if Nuno can whisper him back to the player he once promised to be.
I disagree. I think he's garbage and poor at pretty much every aspect of what a CM should be doing. When I compare him to other midfielders we should have been going for, Im flabbergasted we are still even considering him as an option to be playing in games. Hes not skilful, passing is very poor, not strong in the tackle, doesnt score much and his shooting is woeful (accidental crosses aside)
I suspect that he'd have been cast aside a long time ago if he wasnt homegown.
