Rodrigo Bentancur

You say that like you are not in the minority who thinks this.

I've seen plenty say Danso is our best actual defender, but regardless of opinions on that your actual point about how having a steady player in the team won't get you top 4/5 is plain wrong.

In fact it was only the other week Neville on his podcast was talking about how you need those types in your team where you know what you're getting week in week out as much as you need those that have a higher ceiling but who can be more inconsistent....

To me Bentancur is a simular to a Danso. If he is playing every single week hes not going to let you down but your not making top 4/5. If he is your 3rd/4th choice then your in a great spot.

I think you are being a little harsh on Bentancur, The guy that made Conte's brick 2 man midfield work and dragged us (with Deki) to 4th in that first season was elite

Injuries and dire management/tactics have made him hard to evaluate post then, but you saw how much better he looked under RDZ and he was by most people's accounts Uruguay's best player in WC (again suffering under poor tactics)

He's good enough for a top 4 team if you don't expect him (or anyone) to be the destroyer, and provider, and tempo controller and goal threat in an utterly dysfunctional team. Now if he could be an option instead of guaranteed starter (because you brought in so much quality), sure that always improves sides, but I think people will be surprised how much RDZ will play him

The Neville's were exactly that.
