Came here with a lot of pomp, promising start at Barca, but then never really evolved.
I see him as a technical playmaker from deeper areas, will probably compete with Thiago and Keita for that LCM role, plus maybe sometimes as the #6.
Think it was said that off the pitch he’s not the greatest professional, so we’ll see.
I’m not expecting much either, let’s see what we can do with him and if he has what it takes to embrace this team’s principles how to behave and how to play.
Seems to be a quality depth signing with minimal longterm risk. Doesn’t affect our ability to sign Jude next summer. Seems like a decent move by Ward and Co.
Now I signed him on FM17 I believe for us when he was in Brazil and he became a club legend. Great player back then on the game so should be good for us now. Don’t question my talent ID skills
Low cost deal with plenty of scope to actually do something also doesn’t impact on us going hard for Leimar and Bellingham.
Reminds me of Kabak who wasn’t the worst signing in the world and though his time didn’t exactly tally with the 6 wins for the CL he was part of the defence that got us back on track.
Just the 13 games missed through injury last season and only 11 league starts in a pretty shit Juventus team.
Has basically done nothing for about two years and you question how committed either side is to the move given there’s not even a purchase option in there.
I guess from his perpective if he can establish himself in our team it vastly improves his chance of getting to the World Cup than if he’s sat on a bench in Turin.
