I still think he will come good but he is a luxury player. A team that is top of a league should be able to afford that luxury if the rest of the team is built properly.
But he is in a midfield that is unbelievably lethargic (unless Marchisio is included but he cannot be relied on currently). If we were going to sign him we should at least have a team suited for him.
He is wasted and contributing to our overrun midfield.
