I am actually seeing people, without an inch of sarcasm, claim that Real Madrid is signing the best fullback of all time

Insanely overrated footballer, unsurprisingly as he's English homeboy. Gonna get badly exposed when he, for a change, faces technically excellent footballers on a weekly basis. He can spam his good passes to Mbappe and Vini all he wants then, it won't matter.

He faces far better players week in week out now than will in La Liga.

Who will he face outside of Barca? Fair chance Nico is not there at Bilbao. after that a dearth.

In your opinion

But it doesn't matter which league has better players. He's getting skinned by average footballers in Liverpool already, he won't escape it in La Liga either.

Just that this time they expect him to be the best ever, so it will be embarrassing

'Best fullback of all time' is fucking insane, and I rate him more than some. Who's saying that Monte? Is it anyone legit and serious or some Scouse loons?

I wish RAWK wasn't locked down. I bet the meltdown over this is epic on there.

Not even just opinion.

There depth of players after the top couple is far bigger in EPL and many more wide players of higher quality.

Usual twitter tacticos, have seen it many times before actually. It still baffles me that anybody with somewhat advanced football knowledge can form such an opinion.

His offensive qualities are really good but his immense defensive fraility cancels it out to a massive degree so I don't think he even makes top 10 fullbacks. For a fullback from system to system it depends on whether your offensive or defensive attributes matter more, but on a general scale they mater equally. Those who rate him so high completely ignore his defensive side, which can't be the case with a fullback.

Many of those guys (not all) are frauds and grifters who don't know anything. They talk basic stuff about tactics to make money and gain followers. They know calling him that will get them clicks and likes (former because it's controversial, latter from Trent's fans). I don't think someone necessarily has 'advanced' football knowledge because a lot of people follow them on Twitter.

Look at Statman Dave, United guy. He has a lot of followers but is constantly wrong with his opinions and predictions.

There's plenty of very intelligent football fans but a lot of frauds too. I wouldn't listen to anyone who calls him that. I bet they have never heard of great fullbacks from the past, nor watched footage of them.

I rate him but I wouldn't rate him as a top 50 fullback of all time. There's been so many brilliant fullbacks over the decades.

In serious terms, very good transfer for Madrid obviously, but the switch from EPL to La Liga is not going to be easy. Completely different styles.

Now Madrid has 2 English players, Atletico one. I think it's time, toughen up, build the courage to make a formal offer to sign former England captain Harry Maguire at Barcelona.

Not good, not good at all. The guys at La Masia need to get the formula right, go to work, and find another Spanish supertalent. We are getting swarmed by Real United Nations of Madrid.
