Lol. But Kompany said he's like Yaya Touré. He looked good last season. As a box-to-box MF. But this year, with GX playing inside left - and both Fabio and a fit ESR able to play there given we have Zinny inverting, it's about cover for DM.

MA tried him in the EL. You could see it was new to him - once or twice he was caught a bit out of position - but he seemed to be learning. Play it safe like Mo in our half but when further forward he was able to use his creativity.

1/2 a season playing in the EPL to learn the DM role would be great. Jorginho playing well enough for us to leave him there next year as well would be even better. Give him 18 months and maybe we'll be asking why we wanted that Ecuadorian when we have Sambi playing like PV4.

That's what I'm praying for anyway.

Before he was injured, AW said Denilson was "a little bit in between Tomáš Rosický and Gilberto" and we could do with that. Especially the Gilby DM part. I really hope he makes it. Jai Shree Ganesha.
