Great. He was totally wasted rotting on the bench at Stoke. Still has plenty of quality.
Think he had probably found his level.
Can have some great touches and moments but just doesnt have that physical/brave/nasty side to his game and gets bullied too easily.
We'll see. Hard to play technical ball when you are one of the few on the team with the capacity to do so. Should do much better as a starter back in La Liga.
one of the best players i've seen at youth level - neck on neck with eden hazard; but failed to impose himself at senior level.
players he played against, then, like the likes of danny welbeck, victor moses etc have athleticism on their side, or kross who changed his position at senior football.
I always liked that guy.
