“Totti is a luxury player.”

- Graeme Souness’s considered opinion of Francesco Totti – that’s the same Francesco Totti who scored 26 league goals for Roma last season – sheds light on why he was such a complete and utter failure as a manager and why he’s now reduced to trotting out half-arsed, ill-informed platitudes as a pundit on Sky Sports.

Souness for me damaged the idea of the manager with his combination of stupidity and bullying. It’s inconcevable to me that the man was ever hired to run a team. I think FIFA should ban him from ever working with players again…

I did indeed. Looks like Kerlon will have to invest in a bit of body armour if he wants to continue with his seal-dribbling antics.

I find it amusing that Brazilian players should react so angrily to the kind of extravagant showboating that football fans around the world consider to be their trademark.
