I'm personally disappointed it looks like he's leaving, I always thought he looked like he had bags of talent, and just needed a good run in the team to impose himself.
I guess we'll never know, very frustrating though, when you see us spending quite a lot of money on squad players who don't even seem to provide more to the team. Is he that much worse than some we've seen? Sahin (from what he did for us), or some of the players we actually bought - Assaidi, Luis Alberto, Borini, Allen, there are others.
I appreciate they don't all play his exact position, but I don't think they have given much more to the side than Suso, surely he could have bee given more playing time? I also agree to an extent with the Pacheco comparisons, who seemed a little more raw, but looked like he could have stepped it up for us.
Anyway, I wasn't even going to post as I don't like just repeating what I've read in a thread, but the actual quality of the debate in here made me want to participate, it was really a breath of fresh air so thanks to everyone in the last 30-40 posts! Reminded me of when I first joined, and opinions were respected and considered instead of rejected outright.
