I agree with TOD that he has not made so much of fuss i in Italy, maybe his mom likes the wine in Italy more.
But he is not really that solid player and is lazy. He might be upgrade for their current situation, but I would assume he still asks decent wage. Just strange to go after 27 years old that in 1-2 years will just be dead weight. No way he looks for small wage and short contract. I would assume there is a bit better picks to find for short duration or even on loan.
I mean even Palninha would have been better, still crazy how Fulham got him
