I watched them and he was good again indeed. He has the most assists in Europa this season, and even for Samu Castillejo's goal he whipped in the ball, took a slight touch off the defender, and Samu finished it, so it doesn't count as an assist, but he's obviously a part of it.
What's even more impressive is that with Dos Santos injury and Samu's rise in form, Denis has been playing RM a lot to accommodate them. Fluidity and ability to do the basics wherever you're playing is so important to be able to play here and he's proving it. If only Deulo could do the same.
He still looks like the perfect like-for-like swap for Iniesta to me, and his end product is even better. We'll obviously buy him back because, if nothing else, he can be sold for a lot more than what we'd pay. I really hope he's not a victim of circumstance in not getting a game here because of all our midfielders, because at the level he's been playing at and the consistency of it, we'd be absolutely mad not to give him a look in.
