I remember he had a good season and then a mediocre one right before he moved to Atletico. Is it the case of him improving as a defender or being in a defense oriented team?I would have said yes during his Tottenham days, but he grew a lot playing under Cholo. He cut down on the mistakes and became a really good defensive Right Back. There was a clear difference in how Atleti played when he was in the lineup and when he was missing.

Yeah there's always Premier League + English player tax, but he's a 30 year old fullbackHe's not overrated per se just not worth 43m.

La Cobham loses a real one.


at Seattle going to the east coast like an English club going to Russia or Ukraine.
