Foden

He'd be my one as well, of current players....

Foden, Odegard, Casemeiro and all the city centre backs.

 

[yojambo]

Gabor Kiraly for the grey joggers alone.

Foden, Odegard, Casemeiro and all the city centre backs.

Odegard??? Oh, fuck off.

 

[Tezza1978]

De Bruyne (sheer class)
Salah (we should have signed him after he ripped us to pieces in that Europa League match)
Cantona (pure Gallic flair and arrogance)
Beckham ( you have to include him for his England exploits too and one of the greatest set piece takers, someone who could win games singlehandedly regularly)
Bergkamp (yeah I know but he loved Spurs growing up and players that good transcend the rivalry)
Ferdinand (hard to argue that he wasnt one of the greatest CBs of the Prem era. Plus I've met him and he was a nice bloke)


Can we do a most hated Prem players list next as a counterpoint

 

[Frozen_Waffles]

Odegard??? Oh, fuck off.

I know, to be fair I hate the rest if that's any consolation.

Such a silky player, reminds of Eriksen.

Stuart Pearce

Although I admire those players who can coast through games with serenity, taking everything in their stride, I do love those players who are so intense that they always appear to be on the verge of some imminent explosion. Gascoigne is perhaps the best example for us, but, from the rest of the Premiership, the guy I always remember is Temuri Ketsbaia. There's this celebration, of course, which made him iconic. Wednesday will be the 26th anniversary of it and I still remember it as if it were yesterday.



However, in the same way that Dave Mackay never liked to be remembered for the loss of control that saw him grab Bremner's shirt, then Temuri Ketsbaia believes we should remember him for more than his celebration against Bolton. And I agree. So here's this from his time at Wolves. You'll note one of our own, Colin Lee, watching on as manager.

 

[Fergus]

Let's have a special mention for Viv Anderson, who played the very first Premier League season for Sheffield Wednesday. Always a class act, even if he was once a gooner.

 

[mr ashley]

Tugay kerimioglu.

scored some absolute thunderbastsrds

 

[Chris Finch]

Robbie Fowler, especially during his first spell at Liverpool.
Finishing was unreal

 

[Donki]

Van der Sar
Vidic
Totti
Hagi
Inesta
Salah
Baggio

Also always liked Oscar Cardozo cause he was just an absolute flat track bully of a player and always loved a headed goal and by god could he head the ball.

 

[Tottenham_God]

I find Foden violently unlikeable.

I always rated Kuyt for some reason

 

[Marty]

Gabriel Batistuta for me. Foot like a traction engine

That Fiorentina team from the mid 90s... Batigol, Rui Costa, Toldo... cult status.

Shagged Nick Barmby's wife while he was at Middlesbrough. Poor lad never got over it.

Specifically looking at PL footballers, it has to be Matt Le Tissier. Laziest footballer imaginable but was an absolute genius.

I'm sorry to say Denis Bergkamp, another technical master.

Xabi Alonso in his pomp was a joy to watch, played football exactly the way I like to see it.

And Robert Prosinecki. Smoked 20 a day, hardly trained, but was usually the best pure footballer on the pitch by a mile. Loved that motherfucker.
