He could have easily been born in London, named John Mark, and sent away as a kid for being too small and slow while the kids hoofed the ball up to Andy Carroll. If are if's, but the idea that magically someone who rides the bench for his nation is too good to ride the bench of a club that has the choice of getting the best players from around the world is preposterous. Then he isnt too good to be a squad player, and Fabregas isnt either as many from Arsenal said he was.
