This Is It

[Spursex]

He has internationally. Try being Gio in a squad that includes Messi, Aguero, Dybala, Martinez, Icardi etc. Trust me, you either sit on the bench or do the water carrying. Him and Paredes are discovering a lot of mutual empathy as the rest swan about up front :-)

As for Betis, I thought it was a mid season switch to a more advanced role that saw him get going.

He took a short while to settle but once they pushed him into the 'eriksen' further forward/free role, he literally took off. To be honest, I'm still baffled how we managed to get him when so many other of the big boys were assessing him.

 

[Real Deal]

They really aren't if you watched any of his games in la liga he is all over an AM, only us have played him as a CM in his whole career.

He played 24 times for betis as a CM last season.

32 games for PSG in 2017/18.

64 in total.

He can play as an AM but he is better a little deeper. Like his deep run against Southampton then plays a top draw pass.

He looks lightweight further up in the Premier league.

Well speaking to the man that recruited him, he is adamant that he isn't and never was a CM in the form you and I might call it and essentially roamed around the pitch on most games doing an 'Eriksen'.

Lightweight? really, in what way, physically?

He looked like a box to box CM to me.

I have seen him get out muscled plenty of times further up top when he doesn't have the space.
