I'm definitely among the minority, but I believe he can establish himself as an elite midfielder. It's very rare that I put so much faith into a player, but with Roberto I strongly believe.
I want him to be a starter instead of one of Iniesta/Rakitic

He works hard on the pitch but he's already 25. His hard work covers up his lack of big talent and that's why he will never be world class.
Mascherano does not have the fitness anymore to play RB.
If we go for 4-2-3-1 with Vidal/Deulofeu on the right wing, Paulinho would definitely make us stronger but Roberto, Denis, Gomes, Alena, Rafinha, and I'm probably missing something will never step on the pitch
Roberto is ten times the player Paulinho is.
