Because our style is focused in the midfield. Place where we usually use 3 players, same place where Tiago played, Poulsen who is injured.
We had 3 players available there and we clearly needed one more. That position was expected to come now in January. Either him or Ledesma, and we made the right decision by not paying millions for over-rated Argie.
He's getting undeserved bashing now. People were complaining about it him for unknown reasons. Some are just biased and keep repeating the same thing because he's young and Italian. It was a very good move, he has a lot of potential and it's just a loan if he fails to impress. He's doing something that both Poulsen and Tiago combined couldn't. He's making our midfield more dynamic and he makes threat up-front.
He reminds me of Aquilani, I'm started to like him already.
