He is actually ranked as a world class player outside of the UK not just from us Brits. Although I concede I am a little surprised. There was a list that came out in one of the latin american papers I think it was. He was on the list with one other brit near the bottom true. Don't ask me who the other was, I knew they were not talking about the Saints so didn't take a lot of notice to be honest.
He's right up there. How many better centre-forwards can you name? David Villa, Carlos Tevez........that's all I've got.
Anyone who has actually scored in a world cup? He is one of those who needs the right players around him to shine, hence why he has never really done it for England. He is a good player, but not a great player, who could shine in any team.
