This is true but it's just a testament to how English clubs still much prefer athleticism over actual footballing ability.
AWB - for Palace
I've posted this before but even that one video in a nutshell is a concise summary of what we've seen from him at Utd. Look up any video for Utd and it's pretty much the same shite, falling all over himself on the ball, stupid slide tackles, everything is scruffy and seems like a scramble. Nothing is controlled, he lacks very basic footballing technique. How he's even made it as a PL footballer, is anyone's guess.
How anyone saw fit to spend 50m is just beyond belief.
