The league is full of good left backs, shaw nowhere near being the best. Henderson made a few boo boos. AWB is well down the pecking order of right backs in the league. Cavani is their only top top class striker and he’s old. Could do with signing someone else to replace him long term. Rashford is too hot and cold for me. Good guy but he’s not lived up to expectations on the park the past year or so. Expect the top 4 to be the same as this year, possibly in a different order. Hope im wrong Oil sheiks, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Man u in that order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the top five for his position in the world IMO and far superior to anything they have on their books. The Spanish clubs seem to be trying to get their houses in order a bit more. Although they’re having to do it in the process of major rebuilds. Madrid have a few highly rated kids coming through. Chust, Blanco and Miguel all very well thought of and seen as the next generation. A big gamble replacing top players with them. Just seen that. Do Chelsea need another CB? Varane in the top 5? Who is the top 5? I find that Matip should be more respected. He’s solid and Liverpool’s win ratio with him and Van Dijk as a pairing is superb. Solid no nonsense defender who likes to sometimes do those mental runs like big Sissoko did for killie ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by the euros, Bonnuci or Chielini need to be up there regardless of their age. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s often the problem with best of lists of individual players. Can neglect partners in defence, midfield or attack, can neglect how a player is embedded in a team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This for me is a great example of how f**ked modern day football is. A guy who is now 25 years old, won absolutely nothing. He’s been pretty meh up until the past 12 months and even then he’s been overhyped by the English press given his colour and nationality. Add the fact he looks like an absolute walloper. He’s nowhere near the level of Foden and he’s 4 years younger. Never worth £100 million. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically saying you got more quality for your money because English players are overpriced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United have Bruno and Sancho who will flourish next season and I’ll go on record and say both of them will have a better season than Grealish.
