He only scored 21 goals for Everton. One of many strikers that looked good at the start then destroyed by Moyes
Becks, made a career out of 1 touch and ping/cross
Antonio Valencia - bruising opponents' ankles.
If Ronaldo or Messi had the composure of pre-drugs Jardel it would be very very scary. His goals/shots stats were so amazing. He was bang average or mediocre doing everything else, though.
Ozil- occasionally does an impression of a player who gives a feck!
Barry Ferguson and his sideways passing
So much to the point that Scottish fans outside of Rangers universally call him Barry the Crab.

That's fantastic. Was it still called the McGeady spin?I'd say he made a career out of being able to place a ball wherever he wanted given an inch of space. His free kicks felt like they would more likely go in than not too.
Yep.

I would say Maguire, but he excels in all aspects of being spectacularly shite. Bar aerial duels.
Martial is a La Croqueta merchant too
