About Ganso: I'm not sure about him right now. Since his breakthrough (2 yrs ago), he's had 2 very serious injuries, underwent knee operation and recovery lasted 6 months. After that he had a series of muscle injuries.
In the time between and after that, he didn't play well. For Selecao he was crap. He spends too much time thinking about money and contract issues (he has problems with Santos) and cant put his shit together and just think about football.
There's an immense expecation in Brazil about him, who is probably our only hope of having a true "10" (creative intelligent offensive midfielder) in the WC. But the truth is he hasnt lived up to he expecations.
Most importantly, he's lazy as fuck. The funny thing is that he is the big headed one, not Neymar (who is hardworking and presses defenders). He's very talented, a bright guy, a classical kind of player, but he doesn't make any effort to help get the ball back. His movement off the ball, when his team has it, is also very poor. He's just old school, and he thinks he's good enough not to battle in the field. The kind of guy who doesn't play without the ball.
Summing it up: it wouldnt be worthwhile right now.
