I'm actually not. He could be playing for Aberdeen or still be a Spurs reserve for all I care. The answer is still the same. He 'strolled it' because he was allowed to get away with absolute murder that he wouldn't have if he was in our shirt. Ryan Jack's discipline record from Aberdeen to his first few seasons with us epitomises that fact, as do a few of our other players who had no previous discipline issues before joining then picked up cards for fun. He had to tone his aggression down and adapt his game in blue.I'm laughing because you're downplaying Carter-Vickers' ability based on the club he plays for. He came here last season and absolutely strolled it. He was comfortably the best defender in the league.
Comparing him to Sands is just funny.
CCV, 3 yellows in 33 league games is what's laughable. 3 yellows in 5 European games tells you far more about his true ability. He's a big carthorse who constantly fouls people and gets away with it, can't pass accurately further than 10 yards, nvm pinging 60 yarders to feet a la Goldson, and turns slower than Helander. He is a physical presence who is more than decent in the air and has a bit of pace, that's it as far as I can see. Btw, Bassey was comfortably the best defender in the league last season and that was in multiple positions.
