    Just seen him on youtube, he is like Adam Johnson, but can play on both sides as a winger, he gets forward a hell of a lot and has scored a few goals. He has mixed opinions though from Inter supporters, one described him as good as the new Man u player, Maria !. He plays for Argentina as well.

    He doesn't play on either wing and is absolutely not like Adam Johnson.

    The lad is a creative midfielder, not a winger. From what I've seen he likes to get into the box through the middle quite a bit.

    He's not a winger, he won't put too many balls in from the wings.

    I'm running my next analysis on him. He has played wide but not for a very long time, didn't last season at all and did rarely the seasons before it. He seems bounce between the CM, CAM & SS positions. Will most likely slot in next to Rodwell but who knows with Gus at the moment playing Connor out wide.

    That would be an utter mistake, from what I've seen and heard he lacks any pace whatsoever.

    I fancy him as the "trequartista" or as you say, sat next to Rodwell controlling play.

    Yeah he lacks pace, apparently not shockingly slow, but slow enough to prevent him ever playing wide effectively long term. He's versatile enough to fit into our 433 and the 352 gus wants to install long term which fit nicely into your trequartista theory.

    That inter thread linked somewhere is a great read like.

    How early? As they're signing him or once they've watched him play?

    Seems to me he can be brilliant but is injury prone and inconsistent.

    Shocked to read a lot on there consider him better than Freddy Guarin who the press over here **** over.

    Both, I can't remember where, had a few hours in the early hours so spent a good time lurking. He's got sess like inconsistency apparently, superb when playing well but just not often enough. His lack of pace was a problem to them too as well as being very one footed(left) Wiseman's article is pretty much the consensus. Some of his stats dwarf our own from last season, but different leagues, different expectations, playing in a better side, all that has to be taken into consideration in taking on board peoples view and forming our own init. Hard to tell how he's going to take over here. He got talent, quality passer, can beat a man, creates chances, does all that well. Once he's confirmed I'll get the comparisons up, but it's only a guide to what he can do, not will do.

    He picked up a couple of knocks last season but nothing serious like in older seasons.

    Guarin is piss poor mate, ridiculously overrated.

    Fact he is on the bench for Inter & Colombia says it all, he's not good, at all.

    Never seen him play personally but the press rank his as one of the best in the game and link him to all the big teams. Mad that.
