Lets get a few things straight. Someone mentioned his defensive qualities earlier. He's played in Italy where defenders are taught to keep position and a straight disciplined line at all times. Having watched him play a few times, he was as disciplined as they come for inter and brazil in a flat back four. Remember a few weeks back vs Madrid he kept Ronaldo so quiet he had to switch wings. His positioning was superb and never let him come inside once. It's a shame he got injured because we may have won. Most on here who are expecting him to be a flying wing wing back are going to be disappointed. He's a top intelligent defender through and through.
