On this regard he's comparable to Alexis, albeit with a more extraverted personality.
Not the easiest character to work with, but what's indisputable is that he is a winner pure sang.
He's tailor made for a high-pressing side that likes to play on fast anticipation, which appears to be a part of the style Emery tries to implement.
His industrious work rate might even allow us to try a variant of 4-4-2 in which we can finally accommodate both Auba and Laca as strikers together.
Which are all the reasons why I'm up for a loan, but we need to see how he performs before spunking half of our rumoured budget on an aging winger.
We could get very lucky and he fits into our system, playing better than he ever has before. He could also be a complete dud and we don't have the funds to gamble on older players, we either sign indisputably good ones or gamble on youth who will always have resale value.
