Who the fuck put ‘foot like a 50p piece’!!!! Jesus wept I’ve never seen a player with his ability to kill a ball dead from a 50/60 yard cross field pass like him, and I’m including the worlds best in that. Yes he had flaws and I agree he was selfish that he’d shoot rather than pass and his tantrums but having no ball control?? Nah not having that! He's simply using as much hyperbole as you clearly have in your post. I've seen dozens of players (at least) who can control the ball as well as Arnie over the years....but you've never seen one?? That's the problem with this board, every ex-Stoke player is either world class or worse than a Sunday league player with ridiculous exaggerations to emphasise a point thrown in to suit. Realism and perspective is in rare supply nowadays with any subject on here

Realism and perspective is in rare supply nowadays with any subject on here No it’s not hyperbole at all, One thing that impressed me the most in football is the ability to stop a ball dead so the likes of lukaku for example I don’t really rate and can understand why Utd got rid. I look for this when watching games and will actively call it out when seeing it to the annoyance of my wife, kids and generally anyone who watches football with me and arnie had that ability in spades and yes I would say one of the best in the world for it! Now the rest of him?? Parts very good and parts meh and parts dog shit that’s how we got him or else he’d have been elsewhere

Arnie pulled off time and time again. Far and away best player I've seen for that.

Arnie playing for Bologna these days, 1 assist and 1 goal in a 2 nil win v Cagliari, pretty insignificant 1st half (0-0) played better 2nd half

I've watched a few Serie A games this season, most of them were pretty poor with the play acting, surrounding the referee, time of the ball in play etc. and the odd bit of good play, frustrating to watch

Fantastic talent but also a complete piece of shit after his West Ham crossing his arms bollocks at the Boothen end. Greedy wanker

No different to any other player. It is a bit different in that not all players cry about ambition and then piss off to play in a pub league at the earliest opportunity when still in their supposed prime. Great, exciting player, complete weapon.
