  1. If he wins Ballon d'Or then football is well and truly dead in the water. Seems like a nice guy but he cares what people think too much. Just needs to play football and shut up. All I ever see is him doing media work to build his brand.

  2. I'm a massive fan of Dec, on and off the field of play but you need to win trophies to be considered as part of that conversation. All the noise these days from so many media outlets are not only irresponsible but there is no way you can take them seriously. It's all about hits on there sites ,It's so disingenuous and meaningless.
