Oh dear God...Nope
When I was new on SC and for many years I couldn't figure out what it meant when English speakers said "tidy player". But I get it now. "Tidy player" is when a young CM is really below requirements, rarely does anything out of the ordinary, but also never does anything majorly wrong and he sort has some kind of appeal (usually being home grown) so you want him to sound better than what he is. That's a "tidy" player. Version 1.0 was obviously Tom Carroll. Version 1.3. and 1.4, patch 14, was Winks and now Skipp. But the ultimate, the perfected "tidy player", version 2.0 + premium, is Lo Celso. In a desert of under performing players, he is among the least under performing. And I would certainly prefer a suboptimal signing who can actually play over a star signing who can't play. But it stinks to have tied up all that cash last summer in summer signings and then change manager to a type who would never have done the same signings. And I do think that if lining up with 3 in midfield, just as a suggested a few months ago, he certainly isn't a horrible pick. I'm rambling a bit here. I see very much a potential use for him next season in a team that will be much better put together and for sure in a 433. But primarily because he is one of those "tidy players".
“Tidy player?”
I think I just cracked a rib!
