i don´t know if it´s hip and i honestly couldn´t care less but for me it´s quite simple: the number 1 attribute i´m looking for in a cb is that he isn´t making capital errors, and hummels $#@!ed up several times (especially in high profile games).
furthermore his positioning is quite awkward at times.
so yeah... when people (right now!) call him top 3/5 in the world (which is a very common opinion here in germany) they are overrating him.
i never said he was $#@!. i even named him as one of the first players i would want juve to buy

.
look at the post i responded to "pigs are flying and 30mio to spend"...
