  1. Footballers rated higher when active than after

    Rooney. I know technically he's still about however the way he gets slaughtered on here/online you'd never have guessed he was England and United top scorer. Had it all in his locker and was a genuine top player. He was in the elite bracket consistently for the best part of a decade, just a...
  2. Is this the best (most promising) England squad (inc manager) we've had?

    Can't remember a more exciting squad than a midfield consisting of Ox, Hendo and Maddison? Were you born in 2010? On a serious note I think the excitement is more aimed towards the younger talent coming through (Foden, CHO, Sancho) etc. and it feels like there has been a shift recently to start...
  3. Ravel Morrison

    Come off it mate, what are you expecting him to be wearing at the gym? Full set of jewelry, jeans and £1000 trainers? In which case you'd call him flashy and say hes a show off? OT Ravel is clearly not a level we need and that is fine. He is still playing in the premier league, not every player...
  4. Lukaku - transfer speculation | Gone

    I think I along with a lot of the forum were excited when we signed Lukaku as he has scored goals since a teenager at West Brom/Everton and coming to us seemed a logical step. Sadly we have tried and failed with him and he does not suit(or have the capability?) to play the way we want to play...
  5. Is the PL the strongest league in the world?

    Definitely looked that way this season as on a whole the league has been someway behind La Liga in terms of recent history. The money factor will always play a part and it feels as though it has raised the whole league to improve in all sections with managers, players, facilities etc. You do...
  6. Julian Brandt | Borussia Dortmund player

    Sane, Ozil, Gundogan, Podolski just to name a few of recent times. I think with the price quoted it is a no brainer as his talent is clear to see and he can operate in a number of roles and positions. He has done well in a deeper role this season at Leverkusen along with Havertz. If the...
  7. Barcelona's rise as a football superpower

    They already are doing. Dembele/Arthur/De Jong/Tobido, heavily linked with De Ligt/Jovic etc. They can sign the best youngsters due to the success they create on the pitch, can't see them slowing down anytime soon personally.
  8. The Search for a Midfielder

    What about Teji Savanier? I wonder if anyone has seen more of him and could provide an insight in to what sort of player he is as Whoscored have him down as the 3rd highest rated player (out of everyone) this season. He primarily operates in CM but has also been deployed as a CDM and has a...
