credit where it's due if you ask me. He's had his ups and downs and not overly impressed too many but I like what I see in terms of potential and think he can only be a better player for us next season.

7 goals from CM having not started every game is decent.

Most lads from brazil usually take at least a season before you see their real stuff.
sandro didn't look the best in his first.....but move on a season or so and he was the dogs bollox.

said it before .....I reckon come.next season alot of our signing will suddenly start looking alot better.

This might sound dumb but I am not sure where he fits in or his strength, he is meant to be box to box but is bad at tracking back, he is not a good passer or dribbler I could be wrong, his good at get in the box and does show glimpses of brilliance but he has also had the touch of donkey a lot. I hope he comes good but I am not sure he adds more to the team ATM then Holtby or Bentalab ( might sound outrageous but I think Bentalab has great potential to control our rythm). He does play for Brazil so he should be good and I have watched a lot of games this season and somehow missed his good ones but have seen him very anonymous and terrible I think he got injured at the wrong time just as he had shown form.

For a first full season he's played as good as one could expect and delivered a few goals. After the WC i am looking forward to see him come into his prime over the next few seasons.
