Our best ever player

[billfromthehill]

Evening all,

With Rodri winning the Ballon d’or and being recognised as the best player in the world, does he automatically go down as our greatest ever player ?

IMO yes.

Debate away.

El mago for me

Would you rather have 25 years old KDB on the squad or the same of age D.Silva to build team around
Simple

I think people are just forgetting how good KDB actually was (is?). For this era of the PL i think he will go down as the greatest player, an absolute superstar who showed up in the biggest games.

True but I used to love watching Silva for his grace and composure on the ball, he had a left foot that could open a tin of peas.

Merlin. My favourite. Best ever? Possibly.

That’s purely hypothetical. Compare their respective long term fitness/injury records. KDB would possibly win for best flashes while (for me) Merlin would take it for sustained influence/contribution.

Sergio absolutely loved him

KDB is a legend but his injury record is terrible unfortunateley.
How many games has he played for us over the last 18 months??

I genuineley feel if he had dropped Belgium he would have had much more rest time which they are all craving

100%, Dave was amazing. I just think KDB is special, i put Dave alongside someone like Iniesta in terms of talent but i can't think of anyone that is as devastating from the 8 or 10 position as KDB in what he can do.
