Here you go :p


EDIT: Dembele was the best dribbler (highest success rate) in Europe...not only in a single season but also over a period of about 5 years.

"Best player" isn´t quite the same though? :)

And at his peak, Dembele was our best player. No argument from me there.

Here's a little tip for you: Don't post "He is slow like Hoddle was, but was still able to transform matches with his energy" unless your intention is to compare Lamela with Hoddle. Instead, just post "He is slow, but still able to transform matches with his energy." See the difference?

Similarly, don't post "Maradona was even more left footed than (sic) Lamela - his right foot was barely good enough to stand on." and then try and deny that you haven't, in fact, just compared the two. It's literally what you have done.
In return of your kind gesture, here´s a couple of small tips for you:

Don´t read other people´s posts like the Devil reads the Bible.

Don´t use the word "literally" wrong.

Don´t be a condescending, trolling **** to hide the fact that you´re incapable of admitting you were wrong and/or have run out of relevant counter arguments.

You are way off and need to do a few phat lines and tell me how you know the devil reads the bible. Maybe el diabolo reads from another source...

Now you’re just going full straw man. Besides, why would I want to argue with - or indeed listen to - anyone that thinks that Maradona couldn’t use his right foot? That’s just patently absurd.

Isn’t “Don´t be a condescending, trolling ****” ad hominem, and “why would I want to argue with - or indeed listen to - anyone that thinks that Maradona couldn’t use his right foot?” the straw man?

anyway, best of luck Erik! (If he is off)

The full version of that video (which I couldn't find) showed highlights of Dembele dribbling interspersed between the player interviews. There have also been comments from players about Ndombele doing ridiculous things in training that no one else can do.

I would be gutted to see Coco go though! Injuries prevented him fulfilling his potential, but for me he'll always be a Spurs cult hero.

Thanks for explaining/elaborating, mate. :)

I think it was Bale that said the things about Ndombele?

Another attribute I forgot to mention in my tribute, was his attitude. His willingness and most of the time the first to go over to greet fans and sign jerseys when coming off the team coach, especially when we were playing away. Others kept their heads down or pretended that they were on the phone. Top bloke!

So guessing you don't have a Lamela shirt.

I hate to think what you think of Tanguy if that's what you think of Lamela!

Love the childish element of spelling shit with capitals and full stops in between.
They’re the same kind of player, are they?
