Johnny

Johnny covers both boxes. He is not a specialist who only protects or only arrives late — he is the midfielder who can win it, carry it, and still show up in the final third. That two-way presence is what makes him hard to replace in Real Betis's structure.

What separates Johnny from ordinary specialists is breadth inside a coherent family: credible as carrier, and still trustworthy when asked to step toward duel destroyer. That is versatility with a purpose — not a random scatter of average roles.

On the pitch he has actually been used as CM (#8) / DM (#6). That matters: skill-set breadth is one thing; demonstrated deployment is another. Johnny's authenticity claim starts from those minutes, not from a role board alone.

The trade-off is real: physicality shows up as a structural caveat in the profile. Any club buying the upside has to decide whether that hole is tolerable in their system — or whether they will need complementary players beside him.
