Couldn't agree more, and I was also one of his criticis up to just a few months ago, I thought he was too lightweight for Serie A and didn't have the pace and vision to counteract that, but he's proven me wrong.
Thank God for Montella. Clearly has coached him brilliantly, ironing out the bugs in his game, getting rid of the bad habits, leaving only the talent and creativity.
It's astonishing how good he's become in the interim. Someone said a couple of months ago they awaited a Spanish call for him - I laughed that off as far too early, but the past month he's shown while he's not quite Iniesta (yet) he can nevertheless more than live with that quality and company.
