What playing position is your best?

Funny this thread, because I was thinking about this before.

Well
were to start, I've mentioned it before on here but I played for
Tottenham and Everton academy's growing up as a kid, I was at both clubs
for a combined 10 years in total from the age of 7-16 (Didn't make it,
obviously). I always played as a left forward/left midfielder. I was
always small as a kid, bout 5'7, 5'8, a footballer, good dribbler, great
burst of pace, great low centre of gravity, good jumper (Didn't win
many headers though being that small)and I was a decent finisher.

Now
here is the turning point, at around 13-14, I went on a massive growth
spurt and by 16 I was 6ft3. (That was definitely a factor in me not
quite reaching it as a footballer) So while I was at Everton I had to
adapt my game, the speed and low centre of gravity went, I just couldn't
run as fast any more and couldn't turn as quick. But I know had
strength, power and aerial presence on my side, so naturally I had to
adapt. So from being a left forward, I had to become a centre
forward/striker. So I changed my game, learnt how to play the way I do,
adapted and that's that. Did a lot of gym work and bulked up
considerably.

I'm the same as Fernando Llorente, if you read an
interview with him, he says when he was a kid, he was all what I've
mentioned but took a massive growth spurt and had to adapt his game,
difference is, he made it, I never. But now you can see clearly see in
his game that he used to have them attributes, his dribbling, movement
with the ball, trapping, turning is excellent for his size and build, as
well as being a great target man.

Whilst I was adapting, I
always kept the good dribbling and good turning also like Llorente (You
never lose your technical ability). So I'm a player who plays in a very
similar fashion to him.

This is why he's one of my favourite players.

No you are not! You are shit.

People like Van Der Vaart, Michael Carrick, Charlie Adam, Denilson are good players. Stop overrating yourselves.
