What I am really trying to say is he just doesn't seem like the type of guy who is brilliant at link-up, one and two touch passing in tight areas, wriggling away from people in tight areas, he doesn't have great speed on the half-turn or dexterity and seems quite cumbersome (he could never in a...

Lamine is more talented than Musiala for me (by a good amount) but Musiala is more talented than Bellingham I would say. Palmer vs Musiala is a good showdown talent-wise. I'd give it to Palmer though. More importantly Palmer has better decision making despite only being about 9 months older...

That's only part of it. But you cannot deny that it plays a part. For the record I don't think he's 'handsome' at all, but a lot of people do, and pretty privilege is very real even within football. It's more to do with the fact that he's more of a stats guy. He doesn't have the dribbling...

I do believe there's a concerted effort to build this guy up into something he isn't (new Zidane, best in the world bollocks) because of making money through clicks and manufacturing a new 'superstar'. The same way the media profited from the Messi v Ronaldo debate, which is a farce really, but...

That's a fair point too actually. You'd hope it will come with age, he's still only 21 I think.

Great video, some brilliant skills and goals. The goal at 3.46 is ridiculous. He's out wide at the edge of the box, gets fronted up by the defender, turns him so well and comes inside and finishes from a tight angle. The video is full of quality like that. He's one of my favourite players right...

Yeah have liked him as a player ever since the late 00s. He's been solid and reliable for years, mostly for Sevilla, but he did an ok job at times for Man City too. Won three medals for Spain. He was involved in the move that led to Iniesta's winning goal in South Africa, too. He showed his...

Agree, goalkeeper and defensive midfielder are probably the most important positions on the pitch. Not in terms of glory, but in terms of the heartbeat of the team. Anyway, Martinez can be brilliant when he is up for it. Like you say he makes big saves when it matters, and is actually quite...

Yeah he's a brilliant young player. Have always liked him. His close control, dribbling are very good. He's excellent in tight spaces too, something that always is highlighted about him. Plus he just seems to glide across the pitch, very beautiful and aesthetic style of play. He will be a...

He's been excellent in recent weeks.

He's a quality player but not good enough for CL winning teams in my opinion. Maybe Atalanta will surprise us. Still, he's very good, but already 27 and would cost a fortune. There are younger, cheaper, better options (I don't know who, but scouts will).

To be fair other guys mentioned Grealish in here, then someone brought up his looks - I was just compelled to say I thought his looks were overrated. There's been loads of football discussion too.

Thanks mate, will soon look into it. I have some of his stuff downloaded.

Ahhh yeah, I haven't actually watched it but have seen screenshots. It's been on my list for a long time. I will hopefully get to it soon - hear it's one of the GOAT anime. Ty.

Agree mate. They are a joke that lot. By the way, been meaning to ask - what anime is your profile photo from? It looks very familiar, like I have watched it, but cannot place it.

Keep meaning to read his stuff. Heard it's excellent.

Need to download some Torrents to watch later.

Thoughts on my fantasy challenge team? It's not FPL, it's the new game of challenge. They do stipulations every week, like in a week or two you will get 7 extra points if a player scores from outside the box. This week it is players under 6 million score double points (last week players over 9...

Probably more fame and media hype than anything lol. Anyway, Ferran isn't good enough but at least he contributed the other night.

Yeah it's mostly chav women or rough women with arrested development that like him (because he's a chav himself). He wouldn't really appeal to other types of women. Anyway, back on topic with Ferran now.
