Agreed with most everyone already said. I feel one aspect that is hardest to replace is Bobby's defensive technique and tenacity.
I was once baffled by the position DF - defensive forward in Football Manager before I watch how Bobby became our 1st line of defense in any opponent goal kicks or many counters off our turnovers.
Bobby has an uncannot ability to read the game not only in organising attacks, but also on defense where he shields passing lanes, closes down opponents DM or CBs, wins 50-50 challenges against opponents CMs, and always falls back on defense. He is also very good in complementing our CBs in defending corners and spot kicks. He is almost as dependable as a real DM on his defensive abilities.
I believe many top forwards have the physical ability to do all these, and some will also have the mental aspect to do so, but only Bobby has the WILL to do it as a starting 9 for a top side. I felt this issorely underappreciated/ understood.
