How highly do you rate Ricardo Montolivo?

Things I want to confirm. Is he defensively sound? How is his overall workrate? Is he creative CM? Could he play DM role?

Cant have 3 good games in a row for his life.

Poor man Toni Kroos

horrible

Then he must be good!

Good player imo

All i know he is available for free at the end of the season along with Barnetta and Hoilett......

Sign him as Cabaye's back up

Not really great, an improvement from Aquilani though

Aquilani>Montolivo

well,we can dream he keeps it up for the rest of the season,but no one can deny he has been fantastic for us

Yeah... this is my general impression too. Very meh and inconsistent. Has moments and then goes into fail mode. Much better this year from what i've seen. But not really that great.

Actually this year Montolivo has been far worse than he was in recent years because he clearly wants out of Fiorentina and plays with no heart.

He tried to leave in the summer but never got a move.

Nothing special in my opinion.
Definitely worse than Aquilani.

I saw him twice... must have caught 2 of his better games then lol. Last year, i saw 5 Fiorentina games and he sucked in 2 and was good in 3.

Yea thats his problem he is inconsistent and too soft. He is still capable of great things tho, he has great passing, vision and ball control, Ive just never been a fan.

Like most have said, inconsistent. I don't know if he's more inconsistent than Aquilani necessarily.... Capable on a good day. Maybe a change of scenery can make him improve though...

Aquilani is farrrrrrrrrrr better than Montolivo. Monty can be very inconsistent.

But stemming from the reports coming out lately, he could be available from 2m-5m, that's a good price for an Italy international (no matter how inconsistent he is)

Wow, I have never understood why people don't like Aquilani. When he played for Liverpool I thought he was quite good and to be honest I think they could use him right now.

His style isn't a perfect fit for the EPL and I think Aqua and Montolivo would both benefit playing in La Liga.

As for Montolivo, I think he's a very good player and usually when I watch Italy play he is one of the better performers in the squad.
