Bit of a lazy analysis, players do develop over the years both for the good and the bad. Alderweireld was a failure at Atletico and they couldn't wait to get rid of him. Savic who was a failure at Manchester City is now a success and starts under Simeone. Similar with Mustafi who was one of the best defenders in Europe when he was in Spain, lots of different variables which determine whether a player turns out good or bad.
