awb would be absolutely unreal in italy, might go down as a hall of fame defender
That's not true. Italian teams require tactical nous, and discipline from their full back, especially teams that use full back as outlet for attack, and width. AWB is great at man marking, but that's it. He would just be a situational fullback at those top Italian clubs.
I can't remember Darmian ever made a mistake with offside trap playing for us. He may not have the physicality for PL, and very top level, but tactically, there is a reason Darmian had been sought after by those Italian clubs to be used as squad player all this while. Now joining Conte at Inter.
