nah, nothing particular

just that he was one of the great talents (Roma have always been my team and he was playing for them when I used to watch Italian football)

given how excited everyone was about him, his career's just been a damp squib, basically.

Hence pants' thread-opener was roughly the equivalent of saying "Steve Maclaren: not totally up to being England manager, imo"
