In particular roma players?

What is the general opinion of premier league fans on the performances of the following players in their league

- Stevan Jovetic
- Pablo Osvaldo
- Fabio Borini
- Giaccherrini
- Erik Lamela
- Gaston Ramirez
- Alberto Aquilani ( before in liverpool)
- Doni ( still in england??? )
- Mario Balotelli ( with man.city )

Jovetic has barely played so far due to injury and fitness concerns, but I'm positive he'll prove to be an inspired buy.

Nastasic was bought from Serie A and has been a fantastic purchase for us. Became first choice alongside Kompany immediately at the age of 19.

Balotelli was a good player for us but his temperament let him down. There were few doubts over his talent but he was missing too often due to suspension.

Osvaldo has been okay, still settling in.
Giacherrini has been Sunderlands best player.
Lamela average but needs adapting time.
Everyone here loves Mario.
Jovetic injured
Ramirez has been okay but change of management hurt him as pochettino clearly does jot rate him.

I think the more important question is will PSG continue to finance Serie A teams in their pursue of making a Serie A all stars team?

Sirigu
Silva
Marquinhos
Menez
Motta
Cavani
Ibra
Maxwell
Lavezzi
Pastore
Verratti

11 players out of 23 man squad came directly from Serie A. Who's next? El sharawy? Pogba? Pjanic? Insigne? Alvarez? Muriel?

My bet it will be Hernanes.

Maxwell joined PSG from FC Barcelona.

And Coutinho, from the bench of Inter, has been killing it for Liverpool.

How's Diakite doing?

Gaston Ramirez was always over-hyped...like Ilicic is nowadays. I don't expect much from him in the future even with a different coach.

Gaston Ramirez has genuine quality, but as mentioned Pochettino doesn't favour him. It's perhaps the only real negative with Pochettino, as he's seriously risking losing Ramirez during the winter transfer window, since he needs much more match time to put himself in favour with the Uruguay selection.

If given more of a chance I think he could be a great force in tandem with Osvaldo, who himself hasn't shown his best form but as we know with strikers they go through such spells.
