I don't think Rewben Agbewla will ever be surpassed like.

And that 'guy' would be totally correct, in fact you can go well beyond 30 years also. Their Xhaka v Tonali thread is a hoot.

I'd love to see them attempt to create a list. I have absolutely no idea who might be on it, but it would be funny to see. Tonali is easily better than anything they've ever had.

Tonali would be their greatest ever player. Certainly, their greatest ever midfielder by a long way.

Forgetting Cloughie was a MLF (I know not a midfielder)

Xhaka is better than Tonali imo 

[Mattoon]

Every one of our starting 11 would be their best ever player in their respective positions like, they don't even deserve to have the name Tonali on their lips, never mind try and compare him to any of their players, living or dead, its not even a contest.

Put them both up for sale and let's see which of the top clubs come in for which player and at an amount that will be five times the value of the other player. It won't be Xhaka that's for sure.

Only players i could make any case for would be their keeper who’s started well and that Sadiki instead of Joelinton, the kid does look a machine.

 

I do think our midfield is a bit overrated as a unit but individually none of their lot are better than Bruno, or Tonali on their day.

 

I’d absolutely have Xhaka as a rotation option though and would have played games for us this season.

Clough scored most of his goals in the second division, although granted his career was cut short by injury.

Games I've watched that Sadiki has been nothing special. He was totally non existent against Burnley and Man Utd. Him and Xakha were ran ragged for the first 30 minutes against Everton also. Keeper certainly has looked decent so far apart from that cock up against Villa.

[Geogaddi]

Xhaka Is the best player they have had in the last 30 years , the difference is he wouldn't even make our bench if we did a best 11 plus subs of our last 30 years .

He was very good against Chelsea and though he did start a bit dodgy against Everton he was much better 2nd half. He’s only 20 and was in the Belgian League team of the year, I think he’ll go for a fair whack in next couple of years.

We can only see, as I don't see it with the games I've watched. Didn't see the Chelsea game so I can't comment on that. Being in the Belgian team of the year is no great shake either. We just beat their champions and current league leaders rather comfortably to say the least.

Haha it was a bit but I think it’s a bit disingenuous making Xhaka out to be some clogger , he was a vital part of leverkeusen team that did a full season unbeaten and broke bayerns spell over the league

No doubting his quality, can't lie, Sunderland got a coup there but he couldn't lace Tonali's boots these days.

A midfield pairing of James Perch and Vernon Anita wouldn't keep him out the team :lol:

If these cunts get a result against Arsenal I might have to emigrate.

I've got a saver bet on them just in case. 15/2 is a hell of a price tbf. Also backed them to beat Chelsea at 7/1 two weeks ago. 

[Optimistic Nut]

Burnley & Leeds are ticking along. Only takes one of Forest or West Ham to find a bit of form and it's all very, very compact.

Not over the past 30 years he wouldn’t, don’t be so daft.
