For me, it's mostly about the position. Play a perfect game and make 1 mistake and everyone is going after you. And based on the history of young CBs, that's a position where mistakes are going to be made and there will be growing pains. Experience is the only way to learn that mental aspect of the position you need.
You do that as an attacking player, you're three-quarters of the pitch away from your own goal and have players behind to cover. Flash potential a few times a game and fans will be happy and excited about you. It doesn't work that way as a defender.
So yeah, he'll probably an awesome player for them and Spain long term, but there will be bumps in the road that fans should expect and react appropriately to (to which we all know fans are always level headed and never overreact to anything)
The first time he goes up against Barcelona and they give up 4 goals, the entire twitter world will be mocking the signing and saying he sucks and didn't help their defense at all.
