That classic no. 9 is a dying breed for the most part, you still got guys like Kane and Icardi holding it down.

Griezmann and Bobby are perfect SS.

Even Mbappe is more of a winger than pure striker.

Bring back our strikers :mjcry:

The classic 9 is a role i don't worry about at all. They just seem to pop out of nowhere at 23 or 24. Just look at Piatek

Yh that was my hunch. Or a rise in women wanting equality re naming conventions with these kids being the guinea pigs.

It's ridiculous

Maitland-Niles
Calvert-Lewin
Clarke-Salter
Wan-Bissaka


I'm like tf going on out here :dahell:

I signed a Fifa team full of double barrels.

When you write just the initials, it's like various governmental agencies.

Why do a lot of the younger English players have double barrelled names?

Alexander-Arnold
Smith-Rowe
Hudson-Adoi
Oxlade-Chamberlain
Loftus-Cheek


That shyt's a mouthful

They better pick one. Or do like the Brazilians and either use their first name or a nickname. By the time commentators get their name out the ball's halfway across the field :skip:

A lot of Middle Class Cacs do it, to make them sound posher.

But it is no different from other cultures, who used families names from both sides of the parents. Spanish, Portuguese, Indian's, Arabs all do it.

Hyphenated names are starting to pop up more here in the US. Some married women opt to add their husband's name to their maiden name and many kids born out of wedlock have both the last names of their parents.
