No-one's really got a clue.
He's a VERY defensive midfielder. In his couple of appearances for us, he's played about 5 yards ahead of the centre-backs.

If he gets fit and plays a few games, you could have a very good player on your hands

He came to us as a defensive midfielder (with two International caps as it happens). Despite being allegedly a defensive midfielder he is a superb passer and looks quite good on the ball. His weakness seems to be his positional play - and his temper. He had two reds last season - one for our reserves and one on loan at Brighton.
He needs pitch time - if you give him that he might just prove to be a great loan for you. You don't get two international caps for Uruguay as a youngster without having potential.

Would agree with that, especially that, (from what I've seen of him,) he looks a very good passer. Another point though, it was widely felt his sending off at Brighton was very harsh.

You should be praised for headbutting an Arsole player.

The only times I've seen him play was when we got Blackpool in the Carling cup and a few times in the reserves. From what I've seen of him: - His positional awareness is dire
- He's never more than 10 yards away from the back four
- He reads the game well for a young player
He is also known back in Uruguay as 'the destroyer' and has won domestic competitions with his former club National

If he is never more than ten yards away from the back four, makes you wonder how he managed to score a goal for the reserves. That must mean the back four were pressing up a heluva way - or it was a Figueroa type long range shot!

only Pulis could pay 2 1/2 million for a player, never play him, send him on loan for a year and a half and say he needs to get acclimated to the English game ! at Barnsley ??? maybe he didnt watch the World Cup, they seem to be able to play quite well in Uruguay

Makes a change that. I still think he can be a decent player for us in the future if he gets used to English football.

He treats the halway line like Muggleton did the goalline.
But as said above positionally he is terrible. Constantly leaving gaps in midfield, but when on the ball he has superb pinpoint passing and a cracking shot. Prone to a late foul though and if angered can be unsettled for large periods of the game but this can be phased out with increasing experience and a further grasp of the English language. Barnsley can be more than happy with him for at least this season. As long as this move is not for a permanent move away and is for experience I CANNOT wait to see him in next 2 seasons!

Just a thought but as one of the "back eight" Tony told him not to cross the half way line.
It is possible!

Sound a bit like his Urugauyan team mates ,Perez and rioalves or whatever his name was,they both sat in front of the back four and won everything leaving their more creative players to play.
Maybe England should take note.
