I’ve been lucky enough to watch Hughes, Giggs and to a lesser extent Clayton Blackmore.
Blackmore is very underrated, played LB, RB and CM, a true squad player. That right foot canon and even though he got stick for his err waist size he could shift. I’m pretty certain he scored a break away goal at Bramall Lane from RB, ran the entire length of the pitch to tap in a square pass.
Daniel James is a C lister compared to these guys and not a squad player.
nsmes mentioned in previous posts are not squad players in my opinion. Squad players are the Phil Neville’s, John O’Shea Blackmore types I think.
You can’t teach first touch to a 24 yo and he really struggles to bring the ball down when running. I could write quite a bit about his shortcomings but only one sentence about his strength (singular)
I’d rather pellistri/Amad sat on the bench. Seen amad’s free kick for his country?
