Looks like Matic is going to Juve
Yeah, I donāt get it. Doubt Monaco will sell now bakayoko has gone but shouldāve snapped him up straight away
Youād have to really not like football to think Drogba was better than Aguero, imho. An absolute monster at his peak, and vital to Chelsea, but quality-wise nowhere near. Canāt disagree with anyone else on the list, but if weāre having Lampard and Gerrard in there youāve probably got to have Toure.
Top three of the modern era for me would be Bergkamp, Zola and Silva. For me absolute skill usurps power, strength, pace, etc, and those three had/have a particular grace about them on and off the pitch.
This is transfers and how Utd would have won the league.
A thread to chat actual football would be novel and welcome.
This thread has got massive and unwieldily, get a new one made IMO.
(He wants us to talk about Newcastle, lads).
+1 for the spinoff Euros thread.
+1 for keeping this one for transfers. Tell me more about how United would have won the league if their results had been differentā¦
The only interesting Newcastle news is in the football strips thread.
We beat Hearts last Friday.
Toureās been too streaky, really. Maybe its because I donāt watch enough City, but I put Silva in the same bracket as Hazard, Suarez, and Rooney - just below that top tier.
And yeah, Iām probably using a different metric to you - Iād have Rio, Terry, Sol and Vidic up in that top list of players (on reflection)
Not sure about Vidic. Although I mostly saw him playing against Liverpool, where his trousers were routinely pulled down by one Fernando Torres.
If weāre having great players who werenāt necessarily at their best when playing over here ā Gazza? Bale? Rush (in the PL years)?
premiership players, mate. football was invented in 1992.
Nah, Bale doesnāt get a look in, especially given his terrible form at Madrid.
Just had a quick Torres recap and stumbled upon this. Not suggesting heās in the same bracket as the others for a second as he was only shit hot for about a year and a half, but when he was he was unstoppable:
Gotta be trolling here shirley. Other players people have mentioned above are valid but Henry was so, so superior to Aguero. And he wasnāt made to look better through being part of a ābad eraā; he was a key player in Barcaās 2009 treble-winning team, when he was about 3 years past his peak.
Henry was effortlessly brilliant. Loved watching him play even as a Liverpool fan. EVEN that famous clip of him absolutely doing Carragher on the touchline.
haha umā¦ ok
Iām sorry, I just do not accept this opinion
what about 2 spin off Euro threads?
I mean if youāre going to do things by halves.
For clarification Iām implying that I think Suarez is better than Aguero. Obviously more of a twat, but Iād rather have him at the top of my team. Scored literally every type of goal repeatedly.
