no. it's jut that he's been pretty meh past two seasons. personally i would pass on him.
Yeah, he was last effective in 2012-2013, where he was a top player (11 goals for an AM). The last two years (particularly this, since last year he still netted 7 goals) have been more rough. However, my feeling is that a good part of this has to do with Benitez who I frankly think is the most overrated coach in the world (and by virtue of his bloated, league leading salary of 3.5 million EUR, the most overpaid). I wouldn't be surprised to see a turnaround with a different coach.
I'd totally welcome a loan with an option to buy (assuming Napoli would do that). A Hamsik that is performing at his best is the exact type of player we need to play in the hole, and he is only 27 years old.
