Thats what I've been trying to say since long-time.
Lot of people seems to like/want the players that make shows rather than hard-working players on the field. I really don't see the need or the use having a player who can just dance around the ball make a trick or two and then finish. Thats not football.
For example, when Zlatan came to Juve, his first season, he tried to make several tricks most of them did work with him, he managed to be liked by lot of our fans... where infact he's more like an average player if not overrated of course, who can do nothing on the pitch but try to attract people with some tricks.
If It was up to me and I was offered C. Ronaldo, Messi, Zlatan, Robben and Robinho.... or to choose Gerrard, Essien, Ballack, Nedved I would definitely take the 2nd option. Hard-working players and players that play with heart rather than show, are the players that can lead you to glory.
