How many times have we heard or read about 'the next big things' or the next/future legend in a player? Too much hype about the player either they will become what people compared him to be or a flop ended up playing in the lower club or even worst in lower league like Championship and League 1.

But do you believe in 'the next big thing'?? The Next Maradona, The Next Pele etc. Discuss.

I really dislike it when players are tagged as "The Next [insert legend player name here]". No 2 players are the same. There will never be another Maradona or Pele or Zidane. But I do believe that every generation or so there will be one or two outstanding "cracks" that really sets them apart. But they will be unique.

I have exactly same opinion as you.

And i don't really believe in the "next [legend name]" especially if the player is a British player or to be more specific if the player is English/Scottish/Irish and also most of the "next [legend name]" in BPL MOSTLY turned to be a flop. Manchester United (and Tottenham) had the most flop player in BPL in the past before SAF started to be careful in his purchase.
