    I don't disagree there. Everyone is trying to play Pep style from top to bottom, hence IMO we see less strikers in the game now, its the vogue way to play, with the right components its a decent enough brand of football, but I wouldn't look at Foden, given his ability, same with Grealish and...

    Exactly that, the bottoms gone up (mainly down to fitness and professionalism) but the tops dropped and there is much less quality at the top

    I think Rodri is a very very good player....I don't rate him as highly as Keane and Viera....that's hardly an earth shattering view and doesn't mean I don't think he is a top player. I don't think he is as good as Makele, Seedorf, Gerrard, Pirlo or Lampard either....doesn't make him bad...

    Rodri is great for what he does, no way is he above Veira and Keanes of the world for their all round abilities and the ability to to it many times in a two man midfield. Haaland is indicative of the times IMO, no doubt a very very good striker, but his all round game, I would take Bergkamp a...

    Where have I said he is guilty? And whoever the Cnut is on here who keeps changing rape to struggle cuddle, can it be changed back? @Glenda's Legs has asked before and I am assuming some clown keeps changing it back.

    But those players were also plying their trade in Europe and you could watch them weekly. Its not some romantic notion to think that players were better or more technical/better on the eye. I hate to say it, but look at just one side like Arsenal in the 90s/00s. Henry, Dennis B, Pires, Viera...

    I suspect the legal team gave options and they took one, you can give paid leave and still remain within the legal requirement. If footballs taught me anything ala people killing their GFs in drink driving, racism, adultery and rape, it values success on the pitch above moral obligations

    There is/was clearly more to it than a rival fan poison pen letter which was the original point made. They would have the legal team involved and know whats coming down the pipe even if not charged. Spurs knew what was in the offing thats why they went ahead with Bissouma

    I think its likely a better way of handling than it has been. I would think having full pay and stood down for the time would benefit everyone IMO. Its not a sign of saying "you are guilty" more, you are unlikely to perform under the scrutiny" If and when found not guilty, they can still...

    And thats just one team, you look at say United, Arsenal, Juve, Barce, Madrid, AC etc, over the course of 20 year and its just excess of star names, beyond that the same. I went to three Pompey games with a colleague and saw Robert Prosinecki and he was literally one of the best footballers I...

    Same, I don't think football is a very good product anymore. Overcoached, no real mavericks, I rarely watch and see players like the 90s where players would take chances, have a wide variety of skills or range of passing. You could watch a game in the 90s/00s and have literally, Neved, Zidane...

    Yeh could be some truth in that. Also Saudi went through a mediator, albeit to navigate the no Saudi stuff, but even their process was, in the words of PIF, a cheaper access route into the sport, whilst getting the riches and access route through TV and the deals. From what I was told, which...

    I think there is an element of the valuations being right but there not being buyers out there..........the global financial state is hardly in great shape at the moment.

    Not sure how that rests You saying you would not trust fan judgement because of negative views on players, whilst proving that every fanbase also has those that fanboy over utter guff too. Actually.........Maybe you are right on fan judgement
