People have been telling me that about De Gea for close to a decade. Sancho has some hope of a top career and being in a very successful side. Bruno? I just don’t see it. He’s 27 now, in his peak years, yet Portugese cup football and the Europa League has been his level. Still never been in a title race, whether in Italy, Portugal or England, and disappears in virtually every match against a top side.
Building around him is a fallacy. You will get goals and assists, but your side won’t function reliably carrying someone with such poor positional sense, questionable mental maturity, and severe indiscipline in retaining position. It is De Gea all over again; he’s exceptional in one sense, yet dire and shows no signs of improvement in his areas of weakness.
