i like him...yea he's not like pirlo but come on the team isnt going to self combust without that deep lying pirlo-type player..we get worried because pirlo is only one of two maybe that gives us that creative spark...guess it depends on how we construct the team next year..i.e. players with a bit more creativity instead of your hard grafters like ur giaccs or padoins or pepes etc..poli looks solid and has bite about him and good technical qualities...
and besides, that 'pirlo' role is assigned to obiang..was hoping we would be in for him instead but ahhh, say what..poli plays in the marchisio mould in samp u cud say..
