Top ten players in world

1 Messi
2 Ron
3 Suarez
4 Neymar
5 Bale
6 Hazard
7 Griezmann
8 Sanchez
9 Aubameyang
10 Kante

 

I'd probably have Henderson instead of Kante, other than that, good effort.

 

Think you got that wrong there, think you need to put Can above both of those

 

Can isn't very good though!

Obviously joking about Kante, think the list is pretty good?

 

Best keeper, De Gea?

 

Top 5

1) Derek Asamoah
2) Messi
3) Neymar
4) Ronaldo
5) Suarez

 

I think we both know Can isn't very good. He's basically a Jan Molby who passes sideways

 

Every one bar Kante a forward.

Who needs midfield and defence, eh?

 

Jan Molby was quality ffs!

 

These days defenders don't count for these awards, unlucky Chief.

 

I would counter that with... if you had to buy a player and disregard age and potential, who would cost the most.

I think you'll find none of the defenders and midfielders (who don't score) would cost as much.

Even Fantasy Football the most expensive players are the strikers

 

For a fat **** with the pace of a milk float, aye he was.

 

Sissoko in place of Messi obviously

 

I think that's the point. Molby was fat and slow but could pass brilliantly. If Molby only passed sideways and not forwards, he'd have been a big pile of ****

 

I think Marouane Fellaini is a shoe in.

**** you all.

 

See Brendan Rodgers was onto something.

 

The Lord's Prayer
Christ Is watching so shhhh
Hail Mary
Pray for Muamba
Sit young child
Kneel young child
O'Christ the Chip pan
Please don't pick Fellaini

Obviously I ran out of prayers before I could get to 10, sorry. Tried my best.

 

Aahhhhhh my bad.

 

Seriously though, does anyone remember back in school days, the good kids always got picked to play as forwards whilst the kids who could barely kick a ball were made into defenders?

Ok. That wouldn't work in the professional world, but I think there is a little bit of logic in the childhood mindset.

It's easier to be a defender with low speed, skills and ability than it is to be an attacker. Not saying all forwards are better than all defenders because that clearly isn't true, but I think people with greater abilities than their peers are more likely to be pushed to being forwards than defenders.

If you look at the record signings you'll see few defenders or goalkeepers. Balon D Or is usually won by a forward.

 

Not at my school. It produced a few professionals in all positions, and even those of us that didn't turn pro played at a reasonable level.
