He used to be one of my favorite players when he was at Santos, but did not develop into the player I thought he would. At the age of 17, him and Robinho (then 18) were the stars of a young Santos team that started the league seen as a potential relegated, and finished as the champions. I still think he’s very good but maybe some bad luck in his career (going to Juve was never the smartest move, considering how they’ve been playing in the last few years) and the fact he’s a bit too one-dimensional (the team has to play around him) means I have my doubts about him now, and would not say LFC should definitely go for him, as I would years ago – his position is not our main priority either. Anyway, he has plenty of talent, vision and can score goals. There are some big clubs that could benefit from having him.
