I think what I mean is we need someone who is perceptive and dares actually to be creative when using the ball. A player with vision who didn't swallow everything the coach told him. That's why I like Grealish. He has retained his originality. He could be that fashionable No 10, BUT he'd rather work his magic round the edges, maybe he lacks the character to think I'll run this game, I'll be Zidane. I think he wants to be the smartest boy in class and still sit at the back throwing ink pellets at the teacher.
Some players do run the game.
By the way I thought Tony Currie was wonderful. I was there when he sat on the ball and beckoned the opposition to come and get it! I also saw a brilliant player who should have been a pro, in my dad's local amateur football team, do the same thing. And HE used to play in a hairnet so concerned was he how he'd look that night. (Signed for Mansfield Town, but only lasted a few weeks before he decided he couldn't be arsed to train.)
