I still think he is a very good player but the issue that has been raised about the left wing 'vacancy' we have, is a good point. I do not think he is very suited to play at our left wing. His speed can indeed be a problem, especially in a more advanced league and his dribbling is often based on luck instead of sublime technique. Again, I don't know if that is going to work well in la liga.
I guess we should take Robinho then, at least he is a proven high profile left winger. Maybe Elia, if he keeps developing like this.
