In what way does he lack personality, and what does that even mean in the context of a footballer?
On the contrary, when it comes to character, he has shown impeccable maturity and leadership for a young player (I mean, how common is it you not only become captain in that age, but play as a leader since your early debute?), quite professional and hardworking who showed he pull his own weight from teenage years up to now.
And Boksic, Moutinho is a CM and a holding DM(regista) even if you will, not too offensive at all to play in central mid in 4-4-2. He has strong work ethic defensively and is creative at the same time. Dont know where you got that he is a some offensive AM who is a liability defensively.
