Aye, Best was a non entity in our promotion IMO. He did well in the Prem.
I'm also not sure why its so outlandish that people have seen Clark, Hanley and Murphy play enough to make a judgement. These guys must have about 600 appearances in British football between them plus 20+ caps each for Scotland and Ireland.
I've seen all of them enough to not rate them, and know for a fact they'll be no good as PL players. Down here, however, they'll be near the top echelons in terms of quality.
