My Take
At 203 centimeters, Costel Pantilimon is the kind of towering goalkeeper who naturally draws the eye, but what interests me is his patience. Coming up through Politehnica Timisoara and then joining Manchester City in 2011 as backup to Joe Hart, he spent years accepting a secondary role at an elite club without letting his edge dull. That requires a temperament most people underestimate. I see his height as the obvious gift and his persistence as the real one. For a Romanian keeper from Bacau to hold a Premier League squad place, quiet resilience mattered most.
