Julian Draxler

My impression of this guy was that he was a young up and coming talent, but in reality he's been the proverbial boy wonder for his entire career

He's 27

I honestly can't remember a single thing he's done in his career

That Adrien Rabiot chap was similarly talked up for a while until it became obvious that he was happy to steal a living as a professional

He's only had 3 or 4 games, and is being played wide on the left strangely

Is it a long line?

Strikers coming from the Dutch league can be hit or miss alright

You can get a Kezman or a Depay, but then again you can get a Suarez or a van Nistelrooy

And the weird thing is that there seems to be no quality control standard that can indicate which will be which

I think Werner could flop alright, there's a bang of Roberto Soldado off him

He's played his best stuff when either partnered with a striker or from the left wing. Doesn't really have the physicality to be the lone front man through the middle.

I remember thinking when Wolfsburg signed Draxler as a replacement for De Bruyne that they done a brilliant piece of business and that he was a steal for 36m.

OK they went on to sell him at a profit but he didn't really have the impact I thought he would have had compared to De Bruyne

I remember some years back when Martin O'Neill was a studio pundit at some Finals tournament and he went off on one on Zlatan and how overrated he was.

I think he may have called him "the most overrated player I've ever seen"? LOL

The fact remains that Zlatan never did it in the Champions League and that's a serious mark against his worth as a player

Maybe it's more Holland, thinking of the likes of Haller, Joelinton, etc

Messi has done it for Argentina though

But even if he hadn't, the comparisons would be apples and oranges

Zlatan has always been a massive under performer at the top level of club football

I assume he is fishing.

He will end up Englands all time top goal scorer and will get close to Shearers premier league record.

Coutinho. Even when he was at Liverpool he was great for scoring a worldie but that's it. No shock that he'shardly played since leaving Liverpool. Even before joining them he was nothing special. Lauren Robert was great at scoring worldies too.
