It doesn't matter, because he had the last laugh and is still the GOAT. He begrudgingly admires the Pistons for pushing him to excel and become the greatest player the game has ever seen Bro. Lambeer was a dirty $#@! tho, and the Pistons lacked class, especially after getting swept by the Bulls. That's why Isiah "The Instigator" never mentions Jordan as the GOAT; he's still butt-hurt to this day.

Fabinho is more realistic than SMS. They're only 1 year apart, but Fabinho is more versatile. He's also quite physical, so I'd go for him. He's likely to miss out on a Brazil call up, so that could actually work in our favor, with most scouts/teams focusing on events @ the World Cup in Russia during the summer.
Fabinho + Can (Pellegrini or Cristante as alternates) with Matuidi, Pjanic, Bentancur, and Marchisio is a very solid midfield going into the 2018-2019 season.
