I agree with Deneb in this matter, even if I understand those who are against him, even if its bit fickle and exaggerated the level its taken to, he is NOT a bad player. Just one who is struggling lately, and it wasnt 2 years ago he was good, in fact Real's 17 games run last season, after Ramos took over, was partly due to Gago playing real well.
Its a risk, but considering we need midfielders due to two big absences, I would welcome a loan. And NO, he is not like Tiago, he is better then him. I would have zero suprise in seeing him do well as soon as he leaves Real and has a fresh start elsewhere.
