Lol
Just lol so when we signed Virgil, for how Jurgen wanted our CBs to play, we didn't look to see if he had all the attributes and abilities Jurgen was looking for in players to play at CB? You don't half talk some shite at time, that's what scouting is Steveo, that's their job, to identify players who fit and have the attributes the manager wants to operate in a certain system and how he wants to play.
You love ballers, but a lot of ballers don't have the work rate, the pressing and counter pressing skills and may well not be suitable in other ways for how we play, a player can have the best stats in the world, look like a 50 million player in another team who play very differently from how we do and however good he might be in another team, simply isn't what we need
'Foil for Thiago'
, he is an exceptional player, but only found form by playing the passes Hendo did in 19-20 only not as well, to much whip, too flighty, to difficult to get under control from the top spin he frequently put on them too much of the time as opposed to backspin, you just get all warm and fuzzy because his technique makes them look sexier, I focus on the efficiency of them and his Hendo passing was not surprisingly, not as good as Hendo's. Maybe learn to focus not on whether a players technique gets you aroused, but whether or not it actually fulfils it's required purpose as efficiently as it should do
