Once I heard that this deal is in its latter stages I had a check up on Boateng. I don't watch German football, or much European football to be honest, I like the Champions League and will watch La Liga occasionally but that's only really to admire Messi and Xavi.
Anyway, the stats that made me smile most were age; 21 and height; 6 foot 3 and 1/2 inches. Excellent I thought. If he's as good as people on here are saying and he's physically suited to the Premiership and young this could be a great signing.
The special thing about Boateng is his versatility (CB, RB, DM, LB in this order), and the combination of physical strengths along with technical strenghts. He can be a very elegant player, and yet he has the body of a "monster".

They are certainly not rubbish. And they rate all games by the players, while fans naturally only watch some games from different players. The list does not only contain CBs, but all defenders, just click the link. Some here might have watched the Bayern game against Man U, the ratings for each player is there as well, and I broadly agree with the ratings given.
"kicker-Rangliste: Innenverteidiger
Weltklasse
keiner"
Innenverteidiger means Centreback! Their ratings are usually very harsh, last season they even gave players a 6 (= 1) when they dived, even if they played very well in that game. Those rankinga are very subjective, as subjective as the fans' views. As I said, that's why many people don't take them seriously. And tbh, I can't really disagree with them. They also have their favourites and players they don't really like, just like fans...Sometimes they show a certain trend, where most of the people can agree, but don't take them too seriously.
