I'm pretty sure Pele, Zico, Maradonna, Platini, Zidane, Baggio, Duncan McKenzie - were all number 10s - and all came before games like that existed.

And they were called mostly attacking midfielders, no?

What about Bracewell?

Remember when there was no such thing as defensive midfielders and attacking midfielders but just midfielders.
I.e Paul scholes, Roy Keane.
Or going further back Bryan Robson ect.

Exactly all those terms came into popular parlance when they changed the numbering system from 1-11. It's those terms I hate more than No 10.

So.

We haven't wasted 15 million on an 8 million pound player.

Phew.


Ps . @chicoazul is a massive headed grass

He wasn't that kind of player at all.
Not a flair player.
Sure he could pass a ball - but tackling was much more important in those days.
A great player at winning the ball back in dangerous areas and turning defence into attack.

I remember him well and I miss him. With all those qualities he was a proper Everton midfielder. The lid could play more than a bit.

Just like LCB and RCB - its a Centre-Half.

Poor past few pages, I'd rather see jarg never going to be true rumors like the rental car one earlier than a tedious argument over position classifications

 

[Zatara]

On the continent the teams best attacking midfielder always wore number 10. I think if you look at the best players over the years they will all be given the 10 shirt.

Never took off in England.

It is. You only mentioned "#10" cos that was Maradonas number.

Or is all we need is Maradona circa 86?

In other words, if Maradona wore 6, or 7, or 8, would you have talked about the #6,#7#8 role?

Doubt it.

Distinct lack of jarg never going to be true rumours results in tedious arguments over position classifications, and htis post too!

All that weapon @chicoazul fault. He started the 9 versus 10 debate.

Much better to talk about who we're after and how much for.
