I said it in the chat, and I think I said it previously too, but it was even more obvious today: this player plays as if he is making a protest about something! He looks like a small child, dissatisfied! Just moaning and crying on the floor of a store because he doesnt get his lollipop!
I was so hopeful about him when he arrived, and I made excuses for his first games, blaming Rakitic and Vidal and Lenglet and whoever for not being on the same wavelength as him. Valverde for not playing the style I wanted. Then I pretty quickly (month or two if not weeks) realized he needed A LOT of guiding in order to ever cut it at midfield for Barcelona. I wanted him tried as a defender instead, and waited for a good coach to guide him. I always believed he was very ambitious and I still believe he has the quality and some intuition to be a GREAT player. But lately, he is clearly not good enough and he shows no signs of wanting to improve. He looks very terrible, and he also looks to sink the entire team with his bad body language and overall laziness. I do not like what I see at all, and think it is right to cash in whatever they can get this month, rather than waiting for summer.
