i agree, but what you just wrote is how he sees himself, given by the way he plays he thinks it will just happen to him
Possibly. But then again, lack of work rate doesn't necessarily mean he's a bad player - look at Robinho, Ibrahimovic, Ronaldinho et al. Agreed though, if he had more of a work rate and a determination to succeed he would be superb.
Basically, if you took Cole and James Milner and blended them you would get the perfect footballer.
