off topic but this are the trends i see more often in top flight football

-scandinavian gk
scandinavian CBs
-french FBs
-english midfield
-portugese winger
-dutch/brazillian striker

where do asians fit in the croud?usually they are being used as utility player though in recent times the emerging creative players(especially from Japan and South Koreaa.Iran supply them players for years~) played as deep lying midfielder such as Honda,David Ki and Hasebe.

asian gk-too short
asian CBs-too short.and filmsy(if you see how our defender compared to Rio during Man Utd visit to malaysia you will see them difference)
asian fullbacks-okays.but only in bundesliga/serie a
asian winger-okays too.
asian striker-lack the predatory intinct

Asian full-backs are quite dangerous IMO. Sun Jihai did well during his time in Man City, Lee Young-Pyo in PSV and Totteham. For midfielders just look at Honda, Nakamura, Nakata, Ji-Sung. Their ability to see things (spaces, making good decisions) made them special in some way compare to EU players. If you expecting them to win FIFA Ballon d'Or against the likes of Messi, Aniesta then hard la. Asians just made their first appearance in UCL finals in 2008 and that's Park Ji-Sung against Chelsea in Moscow. IMO Asians not good in strikers because of the culture. Compare with western countries, we're more numeric than creative people. Of course there's some exception.

Winston Bogarde was not injured throughout his whole career in Chelsea but more like being isolated and due to his "unprofessional" act of not willing to terminate his contract. He still played in reserve match until his contract ended in Chelsea and he couldn't find any other better offers like Chelsea so he decided to retire.
