Not sure i understand the term "proper" in this context but fully agree with the sentiment. Toby had a similar ability but on the defensive side. He could see where the ball was going long before others did. The difference was that he would collect and then release it quickly.Proper footballers like him are able to read the game 3 or 4 steps ahead of everyone else. It's what made the likes of Scholes, Zidane, Pirlo etc so good.
