Watching Leverkusen vs Bayern. Leverkusen looking really good. Can’t see Alonso being at Leverkusen next season even if he doesn’t get the Liverpool job.

I disagree with most of this selection. Maybe because I'm older. Pele, Platini, Rummenigge, Yashin, Van Basten to name a few?

 To be fair I think he’s talking about players since he’s been alive, so yours would be valid too. Ones that he’d know about..

No way he's going to Liverpool. If he doesn't stay in Leverkuzen he'll go to Barcelona. I think though he's clever enough and he'll continue at Leverkuzen. Too early to suffer the constant pressure of managing Liverpool and Barca.

You can take the man out of Spurs, but you can't take the Spurs out of the man.

it’s utterly incredible… how Bayern can finish second in a one horse race….

Would Kane be classified as a football 'legend', given his goalscoring feats, despite potentially not winning a trophy?

well his trophy could be “ best player to never win a trophy”.

Van Basten Bloke played about five games.

Irrelevant. Until he retired early he was a joy to watch and scored around 300 goals.

Still rate him in the top 20 all-time players. Incredibly powerful and accurate shot. On a level with Bergkamp.

Ivory Coast win the AFCON.

They sacked their coach earlier in the tournament too !

Really enjoyed that final. Ivory Coast put everything into that second half and thoroughly deserved it.

Maybe Spurs weren't Spursy at all.

 

Maybe they were Kanesy and now it's Bayern that are 'Kanesy'

England has been fairly Kanesy too recently come to think of it...

At the moment both spurs and Kane have won nothing, it is more likely spurs will continue to win nothing

Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1 all have a champion already and I can't see how Bayern will overcome Leverkuzen.

Don’t loan a player to a side in the same league as yourself eh, Tommy?

 

Especially not a side that’s an operating at a level above your own.
 

Stinks of assuming superiority and it not quite panning out as expected.

[Super_horns]

Braga 4-1 down to Qarabag at home .

One goal was given onside as the guy lying on the floor for a free kick was playing the attackers onside !

You'd need this side to be managed by Kevin Kegan for extra laughs. 

 

The most attacking side ever

 

Not only is it nearly all forwards, a few of them are amongst the laziest forwards ever for helping out defensively haha.

direct football into the box. They don’t need to run then.

 

 

 

but seriously though, this is a list of what he thinks are the best players he’s played with, not necessarily what makes a good team..
