Arthur is a CM/CDM, Iniesta is more like AM/LM so he is not replacing Iniesta!

Yep. Arthur is more like Xavi (CM/DM) while Iniesta's more a CM/AM. that's why they played so amazingly well together, being both CMs but one a bit more defensive and the other a bit more attacking.

He really reminds me of Xavi in the way he controls the tempo and is comfortable on the ball. With Xavi it was never about assists, but about control, that's what's been lacking recently.
Obviously he still has a few things to learn, and it's yet to be seen how he handle's himself in suffocating spaces, but the signs are there, and it'd be great if he can start with the team in the summer, so that by the end of the year (December), he's already fully integrated.

He suffered a muscle injury a couple of weeks back but he should be back soon as I believe he's back on the pitch in training.

Supposedly he made the WC squad but due to that injury Tite was forced to make a change.
He's on the reserve list though but yeah just unlucky timing.

Not that I know of. The only real bad injury he's gotten was that ankle injury after he got butchered during the first leg of the Copa Libertadores Final Back in November.

If they want him in the summer just pay the release of which Gremio are only due 35 Million and of which 4 Million is already paid.
Why all this jumping through hoops? This is not rocket science.
