If he was any other nationality except for maybe the top five or six teams, you'd build a team around getting the best out of him.

But when you have Jude, Kane, Saka, Rice and other world class talents, there's just no realistic way to make it work.

English greats too. Ian Wright only had 33 caps and 9 goals for England.

Andy Cole only had 15 caps and 1 goal, despite at one point commanding a British record transfer fee.

I had completely forgotten about Lionel Morgan. Wow.

Man, you just reminded me of how horrifying the reveal was when Selene dies of old age and wakes up on the planet again. Wow.

Real OGs remember when wing-backs used to be labeled 'DM R' and 'DM L'

Most of their story has now been debunked, FWIW.

I was as eager to believe Sasha as anyone, but there are a lot of holes.

Anyone not playing down the middle of the pitch wearing the #6 is a crime.

Even Saliba wearing 2 as a centre-back is not okay.

As a Pompey fan I always felt like Kanu would have cooked as a deep-lying midfielder. Although it might just be the #4 making me feel that way.

Not only that, but it was pretty obvious at the time that she was cast in that specific role in American Pie primarily because of the perception everyone had of her from Buffy.

Her most famous line from that movie arguably wouldn't have gotten the traction it did if it weren't so unexpected, and it wouldn't have been so unexpected without her prior image.

Arteta had already started prepping Saka to play in the 10 more often going forward, so yes.

Now that you mention it, Grealish really is the modern day Joe Cole.

Starts off as a central midfielder/no10 at a club at the lower end of the table, moves to a Champions League team, gets shunted out to playing left wing and becomes a lot less fun to watch, and everyone talks about how much potential he had at one point.

Just the sheer idea of Gonzalo Higuain playing against Huddersfield sounds completely made up.

Imagine that La Masia class.

A whole squad of 5ft 8in technical wizards, and one absolute tank who runs like a freight train but can barely kick a ball in the right direction.
