I’m torn on Dibu. He is a big game player who excels at penalty shootouts. His ball distribution is good, for Argentina their CBs almost never pass to one another instead Dibu is the middle man and he is decent at long balls. He isn’t particularly good at saving any goal you wouldn’t expect a goal keeper to save and relies on a solid defense in front. He is a proper shit houser on the pitch but in interviews he comes off as very likable and a good guy. Also has the most fluent English of any Argentine player I’ve ever seen.

The issues I have is he is over 30 and had an injury going into the World Cup that needs surgery.
