I mean, that’s not really the hot take you think it is lol. Dias isn’t great with the ball. Not bad, but “just” above average.

And Saliba, while a fantastic player in his own right, doesn’t have quite the domineering physical presence that VVD has. VVD has one of the best physical profiles for a CB in the history of the sport.
