I'm not going to dodge from the fact that I thought he would be a very decent signing, although I thought Lucho would go even more radical and use B2B Midfielders which would suit him.
I don't think he will suit the team now though. The club need to return to its roots.
He's not a bad player, or at least he wasn't. Look at him in Benfica and his first season in Valencia.
If it was up to me, I would clear out our entire midfield next summer. Absolutely everyone except for Iniesta who seem to be staying, Busquets, Roberto and Paulinho who we won't get rid of anyway.
