Ramos is better than Verts

Sandro > Matuidi

 

[absolute bobbins]

Ramos is better than Verts

Sandro > Matuidi

So is Pique but Lloris is definitely better than Courtois and de Gea and there is a debate to be had about Petr Cech too

What they mean is 'The Forty Best Players Whose Clubs Are In The Champions League'

Pique and Ramos dont deserve to be called defenders they are dog shit and hence always get caught out in CL. Pique was great but as Barca fans will tell you been dog shit compared to the guy he use to be pre Shakira

 

[nightgoat]

Pretty laughable that Suarez isn't in that list, however much of a **** he may be.

 

[Syn_13]

I think Pogba has been a revelation for Juve, but Vidal and Pirlo are still better players.

 

[Shea]

Suarez and Lloris being overlooked is foolish

 

[Lufti]

All the players in the list play for one of the top 3 teams in their league. Joke list really. Suarez and Rooney in for Martinez and Mandzukic for starters

 

[septicsac]

Unreal Suarez not in there

 

[tototoner]

Exactly, it must have been on the criteria to be playing in the CL

it's just for cl players.

It's for players in UEFA competitions or nations. Therefore Suarez is ineligible.

And CL players will always take preference over Europa League players because the level of competition is, generally, higher.

 

[LeSoupeKitchen]

I stopped reading after goalkeepers. Obviously total bollocks.

It's not, and even if it was Suarez would still be eligible because Liverpool were in last season's Europa League.

 

[Tottenham_God]

No Mark Bosnich in the goalkeepers list?
