Could you guys clearly choose your favourite player of all time? Like, as in, is it so clear cut? I believe Thistle said his favourite player of all time was Torres (could be wrong), though.

It's hard for me. I wanna say Henry but at the same time I loved Ronaldo, Zidane and Bergkamp too. I couldn't make a clear cut choice.

Henrik Larsson was my boyhood hero and will always be my favourite player.

Have followed Torres since his early days at Atletico and is one of my favourite players I've watched in the epl, and this includes his time at Liverpool.

 

[Cruyff14]

Oh. Maybe it was someone else then, my apologies. Maybe it was Flameboy, and if it wasn't then **** you both

Do you think Sterlings holding out on a new contract to see if you guys are playing CL football or is he not far off signing?

Haha as much as I'm sure every club in the world would be desperate to have him, he isn't going anywhere. The process has been dragged out a lot longer than anyone would've liked because of the issues around his agent separating from his management firm, we're not far apart in our valuations but it sounds like there's still a bit of fiddling around with the structure of his incentives until he (or should I say his agent!) is happy.

Favourite player? When I was little it was all about John Barnes, he was phenomenal, my footballing hero growing up. Torres came close but it was much easier to get excited about these players as a kid living over there. We'd get to school and try to copy whatever goal or outrageous bit of skill he'd pulled off that weekend, kind of like how kids over here would be imitating Modra's latest speccy.

Oh no, you aren't a proper Scouser are you?

Haha no, cockney geezer, lived in Oxford for a few years as well before moving out here.

 

[Cruyff14]

Do you say south as souf?

Haha no mate, I'm proper educated innit.

So, I'm guessing Lukaku has probably earnt himself a week off after those comments?

 

[Latro]

So, I'm guessing Lukaku has probably earnt himself a week off after those comments?

Why?

 

[ADL9798]

Why?

Extremely disrespectful to the club and if I were his manager I'd be putting him in his place and reminding him that if he wants a move to a 'big club' he'd be best served shutting his mouth, remembering who is giving him this opportunity and actually performing on the pitch.

Zinedine Zidane. He had it all - left foot, right foot, headers. Inspirational. Won everything and was a real team player instead of being motivated about how good he was personally. Seem him play in person twice. First time at the 'G in 01. Second time in Paris prior to Euro 2004 vs Ukraine. Mesmerising. For me the 3rd best player ever after Maradona & Pele. Was voted in the top 5 of all time along with Pele, Maradona, Cruyff & Di Stefano. A cut above the likes of Messi / Ronaldo IMO.

 

[BluesMan]

Favourite all time would have to be Super Frank

That goal he scored against us at the Etihad

 

[Flameboy]

Oh. Maybe it was someone else then, my apologies. Maybe it was Flameboy, and if it wasn't then **** you both

I'd never been more excited over a transfer but I defs wouldn't say he's my fav all time player haha.

Frank just shades JT & Drogba for me.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Zola. Always Zola.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Interesting. SAF has been backing LVG publicly.

As a director he kinda has to.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Totti and Scholes would be my favorite players

Rom just doesn't know when to shut up unfortunately, he was the same with us.

Don't think theres to much wrong with what he said, but as you posted it is a bit disrespectful and there's no need to publicly state it.

'It was brilliant to play at Chelsea and I had a good reception. They know I'm a good player but that I want to develop so I can eventually get back to playing for a club like Chelsea. I don't have a secret ambition to rejoin — there are other clubs in the world. I just want to grow as a player and eventually arrive at a top club again'.

Subjective of course, but I think a few others have him covered IMO.

One of you Chelsea fvckers said it, I am certain of it!

I don't have a favourite from Hull because our squad has changed so much repeatedly over the last 7 years.

Of all time, Fabregas might go close. I used to love watching him play at Arsenal.

 

[elhadjihenry]

Favourite player ever is Henry by a fair distance. The year he joined Arsenal coincided with me beginning to follow the premier league properly and always been a class act on and off the field.

 

[Jatz]

Gary Lineker. Seen a lot of footage from him in his glory years. Would love to have him again now.
