CPL Posted Saturday at 21:31 Share Posted Saturday at 21:31 I've looked at the list. Apart from Szob, I wouldn't disagree too much with the ones above Bruno G. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted Saturday at 21:37 Share Posted Saturday at 21:37 Is that like their version of when Pitchfork deliberately do a terrible best of list so that it drives engagement? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's just me, but I'm rarely amazed by Bruno F when I see him play. Has some great moments, and works hard for the team, but he can be a bit of a hot head. When they are down by a goal, he typically start blasting shots from 25m into the stands out of frustration and doesn't actually do that much productive (in these scenarios). He's a top player on his day, but Bruno G seem more consistent to me. Edited Sunday at 00:20 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he played, he dominated matches with big performances including against us towards the end of last season. If you put a vote on a neutral forum on who is the better player, unfortunately I think he would win the vote. Bruno G makes us tick in a similar way but he can get caught on the ball which results in a counter attack from a dangerous position. Everything else he does, I wouldn't change a thing. If he carries on the way he is going, he will move further up that list for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted Sunday at 06:51 Share Posted Sunday at 06:51 Fernandez is a DC. Bruno is an absolute diamond. One clear winner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nortoon Posted Sunday at 07:00 Share Posted Sunday at 07:00 Alexis mcallister is above him too. I wouldn't take a swap deal + 50m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at the same time, we have been absolutely useless everytime we have been missing Bruno G, so in that sense, you could argue that he is "carrying" us aswell. Most distance covered in the league is a part of it, like he is everywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted Sunday at 08:43 Share Posted Sunday at 08:43 (edited) Bruno F has been carrying Man United for 4/5 seasons now really, he is also hardly ever injured which is a massive plus on its own. They’d have been far worse off without him. Edited Sunday at 08:44 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to link it, because I refuse to give them more clicks for it, but here's a piece of it: Well they’re undoubtedly all top players, but dodgy ranking. Off to find top five/full 12. edit: “Be warned - this list is only our opinion and is not definitive. A whole host of factors have been taken into consideration when formulating the standings below - with importance to their team, goals, assists, and overall impact on games. It also has to be considered that some midfielders are more defensive-minded, while others are tasked with making more telling contributions going the other way, while a midfielder's price tag has also been included in the conversation - hence why the likes of Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez are snubbed. Check out the full ranking factors below.” Fair enough. Some top midfielders in PL mind. Edited Sunday at 08:51 by Coffee_Johnny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So being more expensive will count as a negative? Then it's absolutely bizarre that Szob is higher than Bruno G as he cost nearly twice as much.

Kimbo Posted Sunday at 11:27 Share Posted Sunday at 11:27 This list has Kobbie Mainoo as the 12th best midfielder in the league. He’s got plenty of potential but right now he’s pretty flawed and has looked like bollocks so far this season IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
