Indeed. His height makes him useless in aerial abilities, but in his position this might not be as bad as it might sound. Remember there have been players such as Pirlo which never excelled in the air yet became absolutely fantastic nonetheless.
I see him as a slightly more defensive Verratti. Preferably in a DM role but can enter the box late and can be dangerous with long shots. He's primarily a ball winner though, but should have no problem in a 2 or 3 man midfield.
Haha. Fun (real) fact: Lugano won the fair play award in the Copa America 2011 victory for Uruguay as captain. It led to Abreu saying the now infamous line "Giving Diego the fair play award is like giving Bin Laden the peace price" :lol:
Haha, Montero was one of a kind. Not sure he would work as well today though. Giménez gives you everything Montero had except that incredibly rough play style and numerous red cards :lol:
Probably. But you would get a CB that has 10+ years in him at this level. My point was that he's way more realistic for Juve than Godín at the moment. Only way I could see Diego leave is because Simeone does as well.
There is no way Godín is leaving Atlético at this point. He's said numerous times he's a fan of the club and rejected a bid from City with a salary 3x higher than what he receives. Giménez is another story. Fantastic CB with experience despite his age.
