He's very much an Argentine style midfielder that just didn't suit us. He wants to play short quick passes through midfield, but needs players on that wavelength. Hojbjerg, Ndombele, Winks, Sissoko, don't play like that.
So I think he became disillusioned at Spurs, then the effort dropped, and he was looking for a way out. Best for both parties as it turns out.
He's had MoM performances for Argentina and Villareal in big games since, but I just think his skill set isn't very transferable. Ultimately it was another multi million pound error by our recruitment team. Whereas now at least we have a coach-DoF with a very clear idea of the type of players we need for the system we play.
