He goes for those long balls but almost never completes them. I wish he'd dribble more. But he's not great offensively which is fine since he's a CB but it is definitely something he needs to work on. As I said, you can see the way teams press/trap him with the ball and its clear to see others think he's not great on the ball. Hell even Mourinho said it during the Ajax/ManU match up a few years back.He is also absolutely nowhere near as awkward on the ball as people make out. He's a footballing CB, he just doesn't have a side-parting, which might confuse some. He can dribble and he does go for adventurous long balls all the time. People talk about him as if he's Chris Samba simply because he's stacked and strong in the tackle. Looking forward to his ability being appreciated and people bravely posting "omg I can't believe how wrong I was, but hehe, I do hold my hands up!!!".
Edit - chuckled at the disagree from somebody who just said something as loopy as "he's a limited footballer".
