Besiktas is rated the 32nd best team in the world by ELO. They had a bunch of pretty good players last year (not sure who's still there). Medel is a star for Chile with 100+ caps. Talisca went to China for big money. Queresma still plays for Portugal. Hell, Babel is a starter for the Dutch these days.
I think they could compete with Leicester or Everton, or God knows, Burnley.
Why do I care where the blokes who wrote 'Mr Blue Sky' rank teams? And if you're using that ranking system, Eibar are 36th and Salzburg inexplicably make the top 30 - you wouldn't argue either of them could make top half would you?
This argument is pointless so I'm out but top tip for the future, use the reply button, its not that hard.
Watched Denayer during the pre season and I dont understand why he isnt in our squad for the season. He's strong, works hard, did some intelligent covering work too and he can distribute quite well. But I guess we got enough cover in that area, would like to see him stay, I dont think he's as bad as some say
Denayer is probably the reason we didn't get VVD. Don't get me wrong, I really like Laporte and Stones. But it could've very easily been Denayer VVD.
They'd rather be German because their parents moved to Germany when they were children. You do realise Germany has more of a Turkish population than we have a Carribean one?Aha pull the other one mate its got bells on. Mid table sides! What an absolute joke. The Turkish league is where old blokes and people with no other options, not even china, go to die. Even the bloody Turks don't play there, they'd rather be German.
And as to the top ten leagues, it is yes, but barely. It just scrapes in above the global powerhouses of the tipico bundesliga and swiss super league. Even the piss weak jupiler league has it beaten.
