Best player ever in the Premier League?

[Goatmeal]

Great work rate.

He didn’t need to work that hard. Never seen a player who could finish from distance like him. If the ball was bouncing or not
Glen Hoddle was good too.

Prefer our Daveed tho for dictating games

It’s not really possible to say who “the best player” has been.

I’d have to break it down to positions and even then there’d have to be a top 5 or so.

Defenders
Kompany
Terry
Van Dyke
Cole
Stones


Centre midfield
KDB
Gerrard
Yaya
Fernandinho
Scholes
Lampard
Rodri


Other midfield roles
Both Silvas
Odegaard
Zola
Essien
Makelele
Foden
Gundogan

Forwards/wingers
Henry
Shearer
Tevez
Haaland
Hazard
Salah
Aguero
Ronaldo
Rooney
Bergkamp
Suarez

I don’t think it’s possible to pick a “best” out of that little lot.

 

[PragueBlue]

Yaya, Silva, Agüero, KDB, Henry and Bergkamp are probably my favourites. Rodri may well soon join their ranks.

 

[whipper]

Bergkamp
Spanish Dave
KDB

I agree with that, I'll throw another in controversially Scholes

 

[city2]

David Silva for me, tens years at the top of his game, brilliant on the ball, fouled all the time never seen him loose his temper and also the lad never caused any issues . Brilliant performer and so skilled. Wish he was still at the club.

Yawn

Profound.

I’ve also got absolutely no idea who you are.

Walker should be on the defenders list

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

YaYa at his peak, best the league has ever seen!

He was an unstoppable machine when he wanted to be, but he lacked the guile of David silva, & the passing range of kdb, & he couldn’t be arsed half of the time (just my opinion) ;)

 

[citymad]

Quite simply, the magician:

100% this. Don't want to start arguments but some of the players suggested couldn't lace his boots, Hoddle and Le Tiss for example. Neither of them had the workrate to be anywhere near the best. Only other players that come close are KDB and Aguero, both unbelievable and both play(ed) for the best team in the world. Oh and Rodri if he keeps going will be in that conversation.

* Now where did I put those blue tinted glasses ?*

I know he’s hasn’t had the best season but walker in defenders

Henry was different gravy moved like a champion racehorse and could score from anywhere. David Silva and KDB both magicians. As much as he's a twat Ronaldo basically won the league on his own for United a couple of times. Hazard unplayable on his day, Suarez likewise. So many great players its hard to answer really. When push comes to shove, I'd say Glauber Berti just about edges it.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

It's hard to separate club loyalties to make an objective decision.

KDB and Henry are the top two, but I don't know which order I'd put them in.

Silva third.

 

[bernard o'silver]

I've just watched some old City game highlights and it brought back memories of incredible times with Aguero, Silva, Toure and plenty of others.

But one player stands out IMO head and shoulders above the rest, and that is KDB.

On reflection, I think he is the best player ever to play in the PL. He's just absolutely phenomenal. His first touch - which never even gets mentioned - is ridiculous. His vision, unparalleled. Passing, ditto. Control amazing. Burst of speed fantastic. Shooting, brilliant. Assist? Say no more. Even tracking back and tackling, damned good.

Has there ever been a better player? I think he's the best ever. What do you think?

Keano, robbo, giggsy, eric, scholesy, sharpey, hughesy , nevilley , Brucey, yorkey, coley, ole, Rooney, and loads of others

 

[Vienna_70]

David Silva - consistently
That lad was a genius.
He had everything…….except a right foot ; )

Considering the quality of his left, he didn’t need one.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

YaYa at his peak, best the league has ever seen!

He was the catalyst to success. Scored in rag semi, scored in Stoke final. Also our best player in PL winning 13/14 season scoring 20 goals. I used to love his barnstorming runs though centre mid to unleash a thunderbastard. Also best penalty taker I've seen for us.

I look back at him with fondness for what he helped us achieve but i can't help thinking how many times he allowed his agent to talk bollocks, and Yaya pulling out the race card on Pep was so sad. Should have had a statue but he and his agent tainted his legacy, unfortunately.

Silva third.

I think by the time Kev leaves us he'll have become the best ever PL player, that's if he isn't already.

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

Profound.

I’ve also got absolutely no idea who you are.

So boring. Pep going, Aguero going, David Silva going, Bernardo going. Everybody going. So, so boring and predictable. If you are hinting Erling is going to Madrid then he had the chance before he came here.......and he joined us. Stop boring us with all this that players x, y and z are going. It wears thin after a while.

Sergio Kun Aguero The King

 

[Nightmare Walking]

On his day Yaya.

I totally agree. There has never been anyone else like him. A truly gifted footballer.
