Also a good age at 25, league proven and plays in a transition side. As you say though £60m isn't a deal worth pursuing, would likely be prohibitive to our other squad investment needs.
He did something a bit dopey before in the corner, trying to stand up carvajal. Ended up just letting the ball roll out of play. He'll learn from it, still a good player.
We were linked with him when he left Atletico, very decent player. Ended up with 12 goals in the league and he presses like a demon. £60m seems extremely unlikely though.
I think he improves the overall quality in the squad and I think he has a similarish profile to Varane. Sure he's not going to be as good Varane at his best, but I think he's got a lot of scope for development.
Of course it could have been. Some people are masters of treating people differently and keeping a group to the same standards, but it's not an easy thing to do. In the same vein could this not have been avoided if he just had some thicker skin...
He would be coming in to cover quite a few positions I think, which would make him an extremely good squad player. I actually do think a pairing of him and Martinez could work very well and he could play RB if your tactics let your FB push up...
