Exactly what I am saying yeah. They play in a 2 team (3 at a stretch) league, where they have all the ball, they are a huge fish in a small pond, have an elite midfield and with Mbappe also coming on board will also have an elite attack running into spaces TAA can find.
With us, playing to his strengths lessens the impact of other players, and we are so one dimensional, results in him trying Hollywood passes when it's simply not on. To me he looks a player who has been indulged (to his own detriment), and suitors for him would be an extremely niche market.
He is a niche player really, an in between kinda player, and the system needs to be adjusted to suit him. Or else he plays right back for a side who has all the ball, and allows him to ping his passes, and can cover his deficiencies when caught out of position. Valverde would be the ideal guy in front of him.
Fair enough, well explained and there's definitely parts of that I agree with. He could be a formidable force for them.
All I would say is that he's simply far too talented for us not to find a place for him in the side, even considering the potential imbalances he causes. I think we've already stepped up a gear in possession since he's come back into the team, compared to the previous few games at least. He's a chance creation machine.
