Unpopular Opinions on Footballers

Del Piero, never got him.

Not unpopular across the City fanbase on the whole, but this one is unpopular on Bluemoon for some bizarre reason: on his day, Yaya Touré is hands down the best player ever to play for City. Better than Kun and de Bruyne who are both better than David Silva. Yaya at his best between October 2010 and May 2014 was just superb!

Casillas was always an average ‘keeper for me, and I have no idea how he was captain of Spain and Madrid.

I don’t think Roy Keane’s tackle on Alfie Haaland was that bad. Red card, all day, but not this horror tackle it’s described as. Wouldn’t even be in the top 100 worst tackles I’ve seen.

I quite like Luke Shaw. He is a very good player, coming back from a horrendous injury. It’s good to see him getting recognition after being treated like shit by Mourinho for a long time.

now I am off to scrub myself with dettol

I’d sign him for City tomorrow, I think he’s United’s best player.

David Beckham. Thought he was a quality player who used his strengths to maximize his game. No one has ever been a better crosser than him, and he's in the top 3 of all time free kick takers.

Zidane was overrated. Great player undoubtedly, but when people talk about him as one of the greatest ever in the same bracket as Pele, Maradona, etc, no. Platini was a better player.

England at Euro 96 were not as good as people make out, they were very lucky to get as far as they did.

James Milner was actually a very technically and mentally proficient footballer and far from just a versatile workhorse.

Gareth Barry made (world cup finalist) Nigel de Jong look like a Championship player by comparison.

Rodri is well on his way to being a world-class holding midfielder.

Eric García will make a very good centre back, eventually.

Jadon Sancho is more naturally gifted than anyone in the England squad bar Foden.

Milner.....turncoat.
Barry.......unsung hero
Rodri.......the jury is out
Garcia......liability
Sancho....turncoat with attitude..

Kare Ingebrigsten and Alfons Groenendijk should have played more games for us. They were better than most of the dross we had in the team at that time.

Marcus Rashford is only in the England squad because of his charity work (two rags foaming at the mouth about this last night).

Eike Immel is nowhere near one of the worst keepers to ever play for City.

Virgil Van Dijk didn't actually pass away, and will return like Lazarus to lead his people to the promised land as he parts the M62 corridor before him, defying the modern plague, rains of spittle and hurled bricks alike.

Hi Yayas agent. Load of tosh. He’s not better than them named players for one reason you put in that post “on his day” nearly every day was Silva and Agueros days, not just when they could be arsed. Never dirt Silvas name in comparison again!

He could be arsed for four seasons running. From West Ham away in October 2010 to the end of the 2014 season, he was brilliant for us.

Left 4 years after you claimed when he last could be arsed. That’s the problem, Madrid away semi summed up his last couple of years along with his shit off the pitch. Yaya was something else at times for us, big game moments a plenty. Never in a million years a better player than Silva or Kdb though or a better professional. To be fair though that’s why it’s an unpopular opinion thread ;)
