Is that really the case still? I doubt it, his value has dropped massively in the last 18 months.
It's still the case. Before he got injured he was as good as ever. 5 goals in 6 CL games in a tough group with Napoli and Liverpool. 15 goals (and 7 assists) in 16 games in the league. Since then he has been injured but people talk now as if he was struggling and declining for a long time, for no real reason at all lol.
I understand why people are repelled by a character like him but this reminds me very much of the first time he came here when many people did not want him "because we have Tello" or because he was an unproven from Brazil, next Robinho. I give it 5 - 10 games if he really comes back until people start calling him top 2 in the world again, including everyone who does not want him right now.
