Guest firetotheworks Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Has to be Messi again, really. Will be ronaldo Because they won the Champions League without him on the field for most of the final? [i'm mixing shite up, that was the Euros] It's daft that they use those things as a measure like, it should always be whoever has been the best player in the world that year. For me, that's still Messi, possibly Suarez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Griezmann must be up there like. He won't win it, but he's had an excellent year despite losing Euros and CL finals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Doc Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I know Steve Bruce's books have been mentioned here before, but this is a glorious review of the third in the tribology. http://thesetpieces.com/features/defender-steve-bruce-review/ Cheers BlueStar, had me crying that mate, I wish i could read the trilogy.

Guest firetotheworks Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I can't see it being Griezmann. He didn't win anything either and although he was consistent, didn't play to the same level as Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez, or Neymar of the La Liga players imo. He didn't score as many, hardly assisted, was never once player of the month, and wasn't in the La Liga team of the season. That's obviously not the be-all-and-end-all and he's a very good player who had a great season, but if it's not one of the usual two, I can't see beyond Suarez if it's a La Liga player.
