Signs look promising I have to say but he still has to improve to earn his starting spot. There were games last year where he played better and i hope he reaches that level and improves ( those games were before his injury against Inter btw).
If he is viewed as a starter or not, his main job will be to provide valuable and intelligent passes through the midfield and to the forwards. He will always have one box to box player (either marchi or camo) so we need him to provide something more than them in the passing department.
I only saw glimpses of that but its only the start of the season, so its not all bad.
