And if you were to loan him, he wouldn't get in the way of whatever plans you might have for next season. You have to remember that Hleb saw the way Moaninho's sides played in England - football-wise perhaps he made a very good choice.
Our football is currently looking good atm; a lot of passes on the ground and working the ball around which he'd fit perfectly into. I think we've seen the last of us hoofing the ball to the strikers. Like Lomba, I can't imagine Baptista threading and finessing through-balls to Milito and Eto'o even though he's got some good characteristics like power etc. We'd need a playmaker more in the ilk of Totti than Baptista, although Totti's don't grow on trees.
