Don’t both of these graphs basically illustrate what I’ve said about him?

How many 6s are amazing on the ball in terms of forward play?

He's a defensive stat monster, reads the game great and moves the ball around well.

I think an upgrade on that costs you £70m+

I think our issues stem elsewhere not with Garner. Whomever we play alongside him tends not to be a good forward passer, and the full backs offer nothing.

Then our wingers aren't pacy.

So we can neither pass through a team, nor hit them quickly in transition.

Replacing Garner wouldn't rectify those issues.

Pretty much the same players as Elliot Anderson based on those graphs then.

Stick a ball playing midfielder next to him and we might be able to work on something.

Couldn’t care less about a player like garner playing through balls.

Nice if he does, doesn’t matter if he doesn’t.
