It's funny, because in the context of Inter's squad he really has been that poor.
Do you remember that game last year, where he came on from the bench. His first touch was to half somebody to the ground, picked up a yellow card. Then as the subsequent free-kick was taken he jumped up and hand balled in his own box. Giving away the winning penalty in the progress and getting himself sent off with a second yellow. This was in the space of just a few minutes after coming on.
