Yeah, it's this.If he were a great captain comparable to the likes of Robson or Keane, then sure he could, even if we won nothing. But he's not comparable to them. He's erratic, whiny and inconsistent, and he dives. In a great team he'd not be the star player or captain, he's only afforded that privilege here because we build poor teams. For me he's not capable of legend status
It's not so much that he's a bad player (although he's definitely not elite). It's more the whole package - the attitude, the diving, the general desire to blame everyone but himself.
Barney Roney described his running as 'performative' after the Galatasaray game, and I thought it was spot on. It's like he's trying to show the crowd how hard he's trying, rather than playing to instruction.
He wouldn't get into a great team. That's why none of today's top teams have come for him.
