No 6-pack, just 2Pac
It all started from how "we need a ball playing CB", "a modern CB", "our CBs are so outdated", "football has changed", etc.
Now you're stuck with someone who can play with balls (just like any other footballers) but shite at defending. The type of defender who could hit the crossbar in a crossbar challenge but shite at chasing, closing down and outmuscling attackers. I'd take a strong, tall bastard who could outmuscle and throw the opponent winger 5 meters away before he even has the chance to sprint any day, rather than a ballerina defender who does pretty passes that end up being passed back by whoever received it anyway.
