What are they? On paper he’s strong in the air, fast and good on the ball. I haven’t seen him much the last few years though.
Honestly I find him to be alittle awkward on the ball, which seems like a left-field opinion on him as various people suggest that this is actually his strongest attribute.
I do find him lacking in aggression too, which I think is a major issue with the Maguire and Lindelof partnership. Someone like Baily has the aggression but not the nous.
We need a CB like Vidic/Terry/Stam/Puyol. Someone who really enjoys the dirtier side of the game.
I think with Varane you'd be getting a upgrade on Lindelof with similar attributes but not necessarily the type of CB we need, if that makes sense.
I would prefer Kounde. I see alot of similarities in his game with Puyol. Who was a somewhat underrated CB.
