"Givemesport" did a top 12 midfielders in PL list. Not going to link it, because I refuse to give them more clicks for it, but here's a piece of it:

 

 

 

 

 

I’ll happily post it

Don’t see that much of an issue with the list tbf - Szoboszlai is the arguable one, but it’s hardly a massive issue.  I wouldn’t place Bruno above any of the top seven.

I posted a list like this earlier this summer, and was criticized for giving them clicks. Didn't want to take the risk.

Looks like I can look forward to getting some flak, then

Hopefully he is not injured, as was taking off at half time. Not down to playing badly as he was arguably Brazil's best player. Could be tactical I suppose

‘The "Samba Gold" (Samba d'Or) is a footballaward given to the best Brazilian footballer in Europe, as awarded by Sambafoot. The inaugural award was made in 2008. The Samba Gold is determined by three voter panels: journalists, fellow footballers and votes from Sambafoot's online readers.’

Love Bruno but how did Brazil go from the likes of Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos and Ronaldinho to those lot?

They had a fantastic player in Neymar to build a team around - bloke turned to become a complete tosspot of a person - filtered through the squad

Rashford & Man Utd come to mind, school meals work aside he's hardly a model pro. Am I being too harsh?

Classic friend of a friend stuff but I've heard nothing but positive things about Rashford in person.

[jack j]

I always thought Rashford was a decent fella? Gets a load of blame for tossing it off at man u but he's hardly been the worst for it over the years has he

[gbandit]

I like him, whatever your take is on how much it’s a PR thing and how much he really cares it just feels ridiculously devil’s advocate to say that it’s a contrived attempt to build his brand. No one else has done it, no one else has tried to make a difference like he did. He deserves huge respect for it. I always have the impression that he’s struggling with his mental health when going through bad patches of form. He never looks happy even if he gets a goal etc. 

 

Hes not the player everyone thought he was or expected him to be but that’s hardly a bad thing for us 

[Mikky]

Getting back to Neymar - I think it’s no coincidence with him there they’ve become Hollywood Brazil - I used to love Brazil - everything about them seemed genuine - their own unique style - since Neymar arrived all that changed - yes he has X amount of goals but in my view he didn’t carry the mantle - yes you can say the same about Zico (he didn’t deliver the big one), but Brazil never wavered from who they were when he played.

[HawK]

Fair enough, maybe it's a bad (uninformed) take - I have no idea what he's like in person, I'm just judging on what I see from his play on the pitch.

Was thinking the same the other day. Are they brushing under the carpet or what?

However, despite the charges hanging over him, the FA will allow Paqueta to play while the investigation is conducted. The outcome is not expected until close to the end of the season and may even go beyond that, due to the complexity of the case. His defence lawyers believe it will take months to secure the evidence they require to respond to the charges.

Bizarre, Tonali gets 10 months but Paqueta is playing on at the moment with the premier seemingly unsure of what to do next. Quite a few teams have the right to be pissed odd surely.

[gbandit]

Just delay it until his playing career is over like you want to lads

They're really not, only got to finish in the top 8 or sommit 

[Groundhog63]

I'm no expert but there's a few on here seem to have graduated from the same School of Law as Lee Anderson. 

Here's a clue. 

Plead guilty, get swift process

Plead NOT guilty, get an investigation

[wormy]

Hasn't it also been said that Italy traditionally handle this shit swiftly because of their league's history of dodginess? Whereas everything the FA does is a snail's pace at the best of times. 

 

Feel like Sandro was already over halfway through his suspension before we heard about the FA looking in to his time since moving to England.

[alexf]

They also admitted they had jack shit evidence on Tonali if he had pleaded not guilty, and only investigated because he had come to them first. So bodes well for Paqueta that this will likely drag on and on and eventually lead to nothing. Probably very sensible to deny everything.

Probably keeps him stuck at West Ham though.
