I like him, from watching some of his games at Porto - have rarely seen him since moving to the Serie A. Anyway if he does sign, i think he's a better option (than what we got) to play alongside Ramires 70% of the time. I've directed some stick towards Lampard lately, but he does do well sometimes, his problem is when he has to play multiple times a week. With another midfielder coming in, he won't have to play so much, and we can have a fresher Lampard when we need him. A much better option than poor Essien. And he's better than Mikel; also more aggressive, decent long range shot, can get amongst the goals if needed, and creates chances. I'd much rather we get a decent player like Guarin, than getting no one and rotating Lampard, Mikel, Ramires in the crucial parts of the season.
