The player has been injured for quite some time. I read in some forums that he is considered by some fans as being a bad signing. I think that we should give him some time.
The transition from La Liga to Premiership has proved not to be so easy for all the Spanish recruits.
I trust Rafa in his signings although some might consider that he did wrong in bringing Mauricio Pellegrino to Anfield. The big Argentinian, in my opinion, did help out Jamie Carragher and Sami Hyppia with the zonal marking system that Rafa prefers.
