This isn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree overall that honours are honours. Cant take away Huddersfield's 3 back to back titles. However, it has zero impact on their status as a football club today. Southampton have zero league titles, but their status and overall influence on English football is much bigger than Huddersfield. That's why I was taking a dig at the two Sheffield clubs and Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play they're probably favourites but should they lose no doubt it'll be pointed at all these players having covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 6 January 2021 Share Posted 6 January 2021 https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/two-leicester-city-stars-named-4861040 Two Leicester City stars named in Europe's 100 most valuable players Manchester United's Marcus Rashford leads the way, but two City players also make the list, with Youri Tielemans now said to be worth double what Leicester paid for him ByJordan Blackwell 13:23, 6 JAN 2021 Two Leicester City stars have been ranked among Europe’s 100 most valuable players. Youri Tielemans and Harvey Barnes feature alongside top players from the continent’s biggest clubs in the latest list released by Swiss statisticians at CIES Football Observatory, whose algorithm takes performance quality, age, contract length, international experience, nationality, and more into consideration. Tielemans is the most valuable player at City, according to CIES, the Belgian midfielder ranking 58th on the list at £64m, one place behind compatriot Kevin De Bruyne and at a price that is double the £32m he cost Leicester when he arrived from Monaco in 2019. Barnes just makes the list in 100th spot, coming in with a valuation of £48.3m. And he is not the only City academy graduate on the list, with Ben Chilwell, sold to Chelsea last summer for £50m, ranking 87th at £52.3m. Another former City defender, Harry Maguire, is 83rd on the list, the now Manchester United captain said to be worth £54m. At the very top of the list is Marcus Rashford, coming in at a whopping £150.1m. Erling Haaland, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Bruno Fernandes, and Kylian Mbappe round out the top five. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 6 January 2021 Share Posted 6 January 2021 Who you play for is still a massive influence on player's values. I doubt Chilwell would even be on that list if he was still playing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't get the Rashford preoccupation in the press. I honestly don't think he's that good and certainly not the most valuable player. Am I such a poor judge of football talent that I don't see the amazing player that he obviously is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted 6 January 2021 Share Posted 6 January 2021 Rashford is a very good player who I would happily have as Vardy's replacement. £150.1m though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Hero Posted 6 January 2021 Share Posted 6 January 2021 Rashford is superb. Probably not quite as good as the hype; but superb nonetheless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plays pretty much the same position as Barnes and just look at Rashford's numbers. He's only just turned 23 too. Not the most clinical player in the world but he is excellent.

The People's Hero Posted 6 January 2021 Share Posted 6 January 2021 Without going too deeply in to it; Rashford is excellent because he has: - the natural attributes: athleticism, strength, pace, stamina, acceleration. - the football brain which is hard/impossible to coach: his positioning and anticipation are usually superb - desire: so can be coached: is rarely the centre of scandal, wants to learn the game, works hard, presses at the right time, unselfish. - flexibility: he is valuable up top, out wide and is also technical enough (like Vardy) to contribute in the build up. What I'm saying is that he has all the ingredients. He's not the most technical in the world (but extremely good), he's not the most eye-catching, he's not the most natural 'looking' footballer; but for an effective footballer in a top side, he pretty much has it all. I'd absolutely love the guy at Leicester. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far from it. Like Sterling, Rashford is overrated by a biased English media from whom, for one reason or another, any form of criticism nowadays appears to be off limits. The two of them are extremely talented, yes, and pacy with it, but far less productive than they should be given the number of promising attacks/chances that they regularly butcher (compared to, say, Haaland or Mbappe). Many Man United and Man City fans I know - or whose viewpoints I have read - also subscribe to that view. Let’s see how they perform at the Euros (if they ever take place) for England, shall we? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always Next Year Posted 6 January 2021 Share Posted 6 January 2021 I wonder how many other managers are thinking exactly what he had the guts to say about the standard of Refs in the premier league. Perhaps they didn’t want to have to folk out £25,000. Credit to him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I'm sure United are too busy making him look like a £25M player to test the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingsX Posted 6 January 2021 Share Posted 6 January 2021 He seems like a classy guy ... certainly not a running mouth or constant whiner like Klopp et al. Won't make a bit of difference though. They'll make sure he knows that next time the fine will be tripled, ignore what he said, and move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their neighbours Sheffield Wednesday have won 1 League Cup in 81 years. Any honours won in the 1800s and early 1900s (before WW1) are totally meaningless. I'd even go as far as only counting things won post-WW2 but that would offend a lot of football fans. Aston Villa are overrated as a supposed big club. 7 of their 8 league titles came before 1910. Villa can get in the ****ing bin. It pains me to say it but Villa are one of only four English clubs to have won the European Cup (1982) and you can add 7 FA Cups and 5 League Cups to go with theor league titles. Having defended Aston Villa I feel like I need a long shower now with a scrubbing brush and some bleach. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
