He really wasn't man. Trust me, he was a point machine but he had changed his game far too much and was slowing down play too much for Dunga's tactics. However I do agree that he, Ganso and Neymar should've gone. Those three would've brought something needed when going bad. Problem in 2010 was fact we didn't have one player off the bench that could make a difference. A bit like this year. Not one offensive player that could come off the bench and change the game.
f***'s happened to Ganso btw man? Did he just believe his own hype too much?
Injuries killed him. Still capable of the odd magic moment in the Brazilian league but he won't make it out of that league. Lost the little pace he had which means he's a non-dynamic number 10. But like Ronaldinho nowadays. Capable of magic but not good enough outside of South America.
Real shame because IMO he had bigger things ahead of him than Neymar, was absolutely magic when he started being able to pick out passes from absolutely nothing.
