Best player ever in the Premier League?

[bluemoon32]

Pfft, it was obviously Cantona, shame on you lot

 

[Crooked_rain]

Give over, beckham was the most over rated player ever

I wouldn't say so.

If anything he might be becoming a bit underrated now because so many people say he was way overrated due to fame.

Both are exaggerations. He was a good level all around player that wasn't out of place on a pitch full of stars at Real Madrid. If he was vastly overrated, it would've been evident on the pitch with the rags and Madrid.

His ability was not on par with his fame, and he wasn't one of the very best players in the world like his fame would suggest, but at the same time he was easily good enough to play with the players he did.

I'll wash my mouth out now but sometimes you have to be fair about things.

Mark Noble?

View attachment 108806

Was listening to the radio once (rare for me) and they were paying tribute to Mark Noble. They summed up by saying he was a one-club man because West Ham were his level. Not good enough for a top club. Perfectly summed him up.

 

[MadchesterCity]

Adams captained Arsenal and England. He was a legend of a player.

Sad to see Giggs and Scholes getting slagged too.

WTF, both massively overrated and cunts to boot

 

[MadchesterCity]

Rhodri
Lampard
Barry
Fenandinho
Yaya
vieraOn par with Joey Barton
Kante
Noble
etc etc etc

are all better than gerard, one of the most overated players in football history

His biggest achievement was slipping for City title, basically on par with Joey Barton

WTF, both massively overrated and cunts to boot

Agree with the second part of this sentence.

 

[s1ty m]

KDB and Henry are the two best players of the era, for me.

Absolutely sublime, world class players who could win games on their own and were/ are arguably the best in the world at certain points.

Agreed. KDB is the best of two brilliant players, Bergkamp maybe third.

 

[its a Barm]

Impossible to say we all have our favourites some top players from early prem wouldn't get close to some from today

 

[MadchesterCity]

Depends if your taking consistency into account. Actual best is Yaya, most consistent would be Silva followed by Rodri.

Kdb and Stones would be right up there if it wasn't for injuries. We have had some great runs without kdb in the team. Not sure you could say that about Rodri or Silva.

Non city player has to be Henry.

Best city keeper ederson
Best defender stones
Best midfielder Silva
Best striker Aguero

Vincent > Stones

 

[hilts]

Vincent > Stones

Its a tough call

 

[urban genie]

Vincent > Stones

Debatable, as a leader Vinny wins hands down as a technical footballer Stones wins, as a defender they are even

 

[Bigg Bigg Blue]

That’s nonsense mate.

He was picked 115 times by eight different managers.

You honestly think the likes of Eriksson and Capello didn’t really think he deserved a place but picked him anyway just because he played for United?

Yes mate, I do.
He was picked by the press.

Undoubtedly Phil Foden this season , scores in big games and terrorises the opposition would love to see him score a Champs league winning goal at Wembley to elevate him to Balon D'Or standards

Win the euros

 

[didactic]

KDB most complete player the league has ever seen.

10 years it'll be foden
