haha.. i see that Scholes joke, mate. What do you say
@antohan on Santamaria? I think
@harms liking him to Sergio Ramos.
Have never really rated him to his billing. Unremarkable height/speed and the footage I've come across is typically goals... conceded in his case, which never portrays you in the best light.
There's also the fact he played for Nacional and fecked off to Spain in his prime, so I have little interest in digging deeper. Let a Real fan do that.
Looking at their bonkers setup, his reading of the game must have been exceptional, but the only extended footage I've come across is WC54, with a different defensive setup, and the one that looked exceptional there was VR Andrade at fullback, not Santamaria.
Long story short, I'd be more comfortable with someone picking Zmuda than him. Roughly the sort of player I expect, not as decorated, but with Zmuda I am a lot clearer on what to expect.
