I know we trust Pep but sometimes I get the feeling he likes to do with transfers what he sometimes does on lineups - come across as the maverick genius who can see things mere mortals can't
I am a mere mortal and all I can see is a sluggish English defender with an oversized head
If it were JFE type prices then I could understand it but that is a lot of £
Just coz you don't see it doesn't mean other mere mortals don't.
As a mere mortal myself I can see that Maguire, one of the best in the air, will drastically improve one of the few areas we are weak at. Ariel battles.
As a mere mortal, I can see that he is one of the better passing CBs in the Premier league. As he plays for One if the 4 teams that pass out of the back as a rule.
As a mere mortal, I can tell he is extremely confident on the ball, hence the humongous gap btw him and the next best CB in the league when it comes. To dribbles.
As a mere mortal I can tell he is not prone to errors, passes well, dribbles well, amazing in the air, and has great attention to detail.
In fact, I'm at a loss as to why anyone thinks he is a bad player.
But then again, I'm a mere mortal.
