Interesting article. Notice how Chamakh's form went down the toilet when RVP returned, and the same with Rooney at Utd. IMO RVP is a player who demands attention on the pitch, and the play has to be centred around him. Therefore, naturally he will score goals and hog the headlines. But football is a collective game, and if RVP's influence negatively affects other players, can you really say he's a top quality perfomer? Surely world classs footballers are those who work well with other players as well as play well on their own terms.
