Watching him on Monday (not in that way), I asked myself the question, "Is he useless because he's useless, or is it that the Special One doesn't know how to use him?". I accept that he isn't good enough to carry/lift a team, but, surely he's better than that!
Would Pep get more out of him?

"That sir, depends on whether I embrace your principles or your mistress"
Looked class against us for Juve, but admittedly that's the only time I've really been impressed so far. I'm sure he must be better than what he's shown so far though, Maureen tactics probably don't help. Long may it continue though, I'm finding it hilarious
He isn't and never was a defensive midfielder. He'd be much better in a team where he would have more freedom to roam. I don't think he would fit our set-up, but i think he'd look better at Chelsea, Arsenal, or Everton.

The media will never call him out.
He is worth 40-50 mil, the rest went to Raiola, who one of the biggest snakes in football. Read a few months ago that he is demanding AC Milan to pay 10 mil/season to Donnarumma or he will take him to Juventus or Madrid.
We were interested in him, no doubt, but we understood how much he really cost and that is nowhere near as much we paid for TIn Tin.
Before he came I thought Christ that's a lot of money for a player who NEVER turns up in a big game. But now he doesn't turn up in the likkle games either. That's either down to the pace of the game here, his manager or his attitude to not being allowed the freedom he needs in the games. I'd have to go for his attitude and it's not going to get any better. A shocking buy.
