Carlito
Player Valuation: £40m
I always thought he looked quite decent at Arsenal, to be honest. I just think it was enormous leap of blind faith on Everton's part to pay a large fee for him, considering that he'd never been first-choice before. There was also no obvious place for him in Silva's midfield, making it doubly strange.The thing is that Arsenal team didn't play there wingers as guys who are required to stay super wide. They came inside and combined a lot. So even if he was a "winger" in purely positional terms asking him to dribble at players and cross wasn't really what we should have been expecting. His value was dribbling forward and passing into the final third and the box. In some teams that can be a winger role. For us it is probably midfield.
The thing I've been most disappointed with is his inability to pass, cross or shoot while carrying the ball at pace. If I was to pick out a positive in his game, it's that he's very composed with the ball at his feet in the box. I like how he usually gets his head up and looks for a teammate in those situations, but I don't know how that translates into starting a role for him.
