25?
That’s a perfect age to sign a player.
Yeah, that's a prime age... for a player who actually does stuff.
I'm skeptical that a player who hasn't shown much of anything in the years leading up to his prime is suddenly going to put it all together.
You seen much of him though Kramer or is this opinion entirely coming from stats?
Stats.
Not much defensive output, not much creative output, not much scoring output. Has a nice passing percentage but the passing model (which accounts for the difficulty of each pass) doesn't rate him so he's probably not trying anything difficult. Looks like he was a decent dribbler at Valencia but who cares given the rest.
The eye test may well be the only thing he has going for him. In which case, it's probably deceptive because he does next to nothing you can measure.
