We're not trying to get him for his passing ability only.
oh. i see !
this is how it works, right ? if you don't buy him for his passing ability, he will not show his flaws there, right ?
guess what ?! we did not buy bonucci for his passing either and he still does those passes we dislike and hummels does those passes even more often and with even more danger.
pirlo is not always directly available for a pass... do we want to see our defenders blast the ball against the first pressing striker of the opponent in that case ?
