Well KTBFFH maybe you could contribute something worth while instead instead of criticism , if we all posted little snipes from the sidelines there would not be a lot to read and banter about would there?

I post frequently. I just said that continuing that debate for days is getting tedious, we have all understood what you guys think of the matter, just let it go. How come you guys get to express your opinion, but when I express mine you just attack me straight way?

If it's tedious for you don't read it. People were still clarifying their opinions on the subject :)

Other topic to discuss perhaps.
Yesterday, 3 teenagers got minutes in an important game. Now, you could say that it was 'only' Maribor. It's definitely one of the easier opponents you could face in the CL. Zouma did a good job and Solanke didn't do anything bad, but I thought Ake again played really well.
Onto my question. How would you guys rate the level of Maribor's play (in terms of Premier League)? Are they Burnley level? Or perhaps Sunderland or Stoke? I don't really know, so I'm asking all of you.
Ake and Zouma showed they could handle this level for sure. Do you think they're ready for regular minutes in the Premier League? Debate away

Championship mate.

Personally, I thought they looked better than Championship level to be honest.
Sure, they were a little naive to try and play attacking football but there was some quality there. Or maybe I just got it all wrong. :)

Don't underestimate championship clubs. Many of them are much better than you expect. To be honest even serieA is on championship level excluding clubs like Juventus ,Roma or Napoli. Not to mention Belgian,Swiss or Austrian league.

I think all posters understood what you was saying jackson but maybe your not taking into consideration home grown players in our squad if you and aron get rid of cahill and get another foreigner like your suggesting let alone the ffp rules on top player wages plus maybe a season or two to get used to the premiership its not so staightforwad plus would they want to come to the bridge.imo

Totally agree Zouma maybe a good individual but would his and it's partnership work because for me Cahill and Terry are one of the best partnerships in Europe and I'm not being biast.

Hey Ed and guys and girls just read the news Ron Gourlay has left the club after 10 years, Ed002 did the club know this was going to happen and do they have an idea of who they would like to replace him or do you think they will promote someone already within the club.
Just a quick thanks we should all appreciate the work this guy put in to turning us into what we are now.

{Ed002's Note - He would have told the club before the press release. I have no idea what will happen.}
Ok cheers mate I am hoping club attempts to get Nicola Cortese.

Top 5:
Costa
Hazard
Di Maria
Aguero
Kompany
Next 5:
Silva
Sanchez
Toure
Fabregas
Matic
Agree0

Aguero, Di Maria, Toure, Kompany and Courtois for me.
Courtois might be an odd inclusion, but he's close to being the best goalkeeper in the world and I think he's exceptional.
Agree0

Great replies. Me and you think very much alike Jackson.
if I was to go back and do again I'd probably fit silva in for falcao.
Agree0
Disagree0
Wtf. Falcao? What? How? Dafuq.
Aguero
Hazard
Di Maria
Toure
Kompany shout outs to Ramsey, Fabregas, Costa, Sterling and Silva could have been any of them as fifth hut think defenders don't always get enough credit so I went for big head. :)
Agree0
Disagree0
Indeed, it appears so my friend :)
And you're right ELI, defenders don't nearly get enough credit. It's tough to compare players from different positions, but somehow defenders always get overlooked.

you can't go of the subject of Cahill when talking about the best 5 in the prem when he is one of them! ;-)

Kompany, di Maria, silva, Fabregas, and toure.
Hazard and aguero would both be on the list but they're too inconsistent. Aguero is constantly hurt and hazard pops in and out of games.
Courtois, costa, and sanchez all could all very easily make this list but they've not been in the league over an extended period of time. Costa kind of scares me with the hamstrings. Di Maria and Fabregas both made the list as they have been exceptional every single game they've played.

Fabregas, Matic, D.Costa, Sterling and DiMaria.

Yeah I guess falcao not anymore. Still a top class player
Agree0

Hopefully El Tigre doesn't show his class all that much this weekend. Think Van Persie will get dropped for Falcao. Reckon he won't play with 2 strikers.
