Always skeptical about this guy. but he played really great today like the others. all am asking for if time comes to play against the giants hope he will perform like that.
He needs to be more aggressive though, use that Argentine flair, take more chances against defenders. Especially when playing behind the Strikers. Yes, he can play a solid simple game but he's no Padoin, he's more talented than that.
Today though, he's done his CM job almost perfectly.
He plays some really nice stuff on his weaker foot, very natural footballer, the kind of flicks and touches that most players these days only do with one foot.
Only downside to him (aside from the hit and miss end product) is how he occasionally tries to dribble in the wrong areas, but he's got great feet, a strong engine, and a considerable turn of pace.

You can't deny guys that he has many flashes of brilliance. He isn't just there yet, finishing and final decision mostly sucks, but it's clear that he has a motherfucking huge potential.
He assisted the Tevez goal with a fantastic pass too. Could have easily had two assists in this game if Morata buried his chance.
Although, in first match against BvB, Pereyra missed almost the same chance from a Morata pass.
Coincidence?
Back to being serious. This guy has easily proved his value. Definitely worth 15mil, if not more, given his age and his skill. If he continues to improve his end product and gets more time in that AM role, I could see him developing into a very very good player for us.
