Aye, he certainly did for Barca, he didn't seem in tune with what the coaches wanted of him. But for Palmeiras he looked a little more stable (plenty of useful vids online with dreadful music), plus he's young still for a central defender so hopefully our coaching can get a good tune out of him.

The big ask is the jump in opposition quality from Palmeiras to Barca is obviously massive and he hasn't proven yet he can keep up. At least the Prem has more weaker sides than La Liga so hopefully that'll help him build up a rhythm.

I'm not sure I can believe that when I see that Sandro scored 15 goals in there, and Stuani - who scored 7 goals in a Championship season for Middlesbrough - got 19 in La Liga last year.

Yeah, tho' sometimes players just do well in some leagues but not in others. It can go the other way too. Another guide is checking the head-to-head Prem vs La Liga clubs in European competitions of the last 5 years...I'm betting it's about a 70/30 ratio in La Liga's favour.

that's a very unfair comparison when you consider they have barca and real the two best teams in the world

that league has about 4/5 teams in who stature wise are league 2 standards, spain has 3 world class teams ( Madrid teams and barca ) they have Valencia who are decent then 1 or 2 half decent teams then the rest are absolutely garbage

You under-estimate the bottom half of La Liga. They're deffo not league 2 standard!

Oh yeah, the top teams are absolutely brilliant don't get me wrong. There's loads of dross though, more than here i'd say.

I guess there's no right or wrong answer...but honestly I would fancy the likes of bottom-half sides like Bilbao, Levantes, Celta Vigo, Sociedad, Espanyol to comfortably beat Huddersfield, Brighton, Palace, Cardiff, Fulham.
