“There are few things fellow Rambler and South American football guru Rupert Fryer likes better than discussing what constitutes a ‘true number 10’, as I rediscovered at dinner last week. From here we got onto a mutual pet subject, the marvellous Miralem Pjanic. Rupert, and Jonathan Wilson, who with us, both aired their doubts over Pjanic’s future, following the arrival of Yoann Gourcuff at Lyon. Two playmakers in the same team? These days, only if Rupert was the gaffer.” (The Football Ramble)
