his versatility really helps, on my QPR game he has 20 free kicks which adds a lot to his game. I think without that (which he doesn't have on a lot of th egames I've started) he wouldn't be that much more than a squad player for a team like Arsenal.
great player off the bench or as a fill in for a first team injury for a big team, av got him at AC Milan, i use him as a ML or MR. for arsenal he would be a good squad player
