think he turns 30 at the end of the season mate, and he never turned into the player he looked capable of when breaking through years ago, but still think he would add a lot of depth and experience to the centre mid, besides Barry we have no one (assuming Gibson leaves) who can play that sitting deep role, taking the ball off the goalie and cb's etc, Veloso could do that easily.
As for the games against City, major problem he has at Kiev is they don't really have much movement ahead of him mate, besides Yarmolenko they lack ta;lent really in attaacking areas, so a lot of what he does best is watsed their, thos deep balls down the channels and quick first time passing etc
