How many people are you talking about? My buddy and his friends thought he was a Gattuso but with significantly more techincal ability, but also thought that he could adapt anywhere in the center of midfield. Their forums had a significant number of people who thought they were losing a gem.  Sounds like you are generalizing a bit. It reminds me a bit of Draymond Green claiming that everyone doubted the Warriors in 2019, after they just won 3 of 4 championships.

Checking out of our hotel in Milan today and the fella behind the desk asked where we’re from. I replied Newcastle and he looked down at his computer then looked me straight in the eye and said ‘you have taken half of the heart of Milan’ :lol:

 

I told him we’d look after him and it ended with handshakes and ‘see you in the champions league’.

Met an fella from Milan back in Feb and he had very similar to say that they r still gutted he left but followed it up that they really loved how we supported him.

Been trying to think what it is about his performances and impact of late that reminds me of something else and I think I've got it. 

 

The first 6 months of David Ginola when we all realised we had an absolute superstar who had instantly taken us to a whole new level.

Still recall watching the 3-1 home win over Man City and I doubt Richard Edghill ever recovered after what Ginola did to him that day.

Ginola's goal tally still blows my mind considering how good he was and the amount of goals we scored overall.

7 total I think. Weird. He destroyed FBs routinely, could go inside or out and strong as fuck. Then Dixon and Ashby happened. Fuck the pair of them.

It was yeah, for context Longstaff scored 8 just last season. :lol: He still bagged plenty of assists mind (13) and scared the life out of everyone we played. Best example I can think of of stats not being the be all and end all

I'd have to guess, without checking, that Robert's stats were better pure numbers. He surely scored a fair few more.

He did yeah, although Ginola was only here 2 seasons and only played 1 and a half of them. There'll be loads of players we barely mention that beat him on stats.

If you had to compare him to a player from the past who would it be ? 

 

Platini 

 

Pirlo

 

Gerrard ?

Random one but was Fernandinho for city similar in that he had elite pace as a defensive mid?
