Who is the biggest “what if” player of all time? What I mean by this is a player who could’ve had a dramatically different or better career if he had chose a different option.

One of my picks is Neymar. What if he stayed at Barcelona?

    Yep, that Matt Le Tissier. He was unbelievably talented and made the game look easy. But if you ever watched him play he was never a hard worker, didn’t track back and was never in fantastic shape. I really believe he had the talent to be one of Englands best ever players but he was never 1st choice. He even said he didn’t want to move to a bigger club because he didn’t want the hassle

      Yeah, Le Tissier had a lot of ability but was incredibly lazy and had no motivation.

      At Southampton he could get away with it because his level of skill was far above the normal for the club, had he moved elsewhere he might have been shown up for what he was.

        He did pretty well so shown up for what he was I think is a bit harsh but think I know what you mean. No work ethic

        Couldn’t get away with nowadays no matter how gifted you are
