Julio Soler

Soler closes down his opposite number the way Argentine full backs are taught to from a young age, arriving early and putting a body in the way before the winger can even face up. He captained Argentina's under twenty side, a role usually reserved for a player teammates already trust in the tense moments of a match. That defensive discipline came through clearly at Lanús, where he built a reputation on stopping attacks rather than starting them.

The trade off is obvious once you compare him with the more expansive full backs around him in this squad, because his end product going forward remains close to non existent. Whether Bournemouth accept that trade for the defensive solidity he offers is the debate that will follow him through his first full season in England. Physical duels rarely worry him. Final balls still do.
