I don't care if he's 2 metres and a half if he makes mistakes. Tek was great with the accent on was. He was expensive and past his prime too imo. Barca exposed that too.
Di Gregorio is cheaper, younger, fitter, has better feet buuuut he doesn't have Tek's leader capacities. Tek was still very important in the locker room idd.
But this is the reason why I said 'arguably'. Might be up for debate
