Here is the place to talk about all things city and football!

55 nominees and, yes, you've guessed it: none are from City. No Silva, no de Bruyne, no Aguero, no Jesus, no nothing.
The nominees are all the usual suspects from all the usual teams.
https://www.fifpro.org/news/list-of-55- ... rld-11/en/There's only one possible response to this - go out and win lots and lots of silverware and stuff this popularity contest down FIFPro's throats.

Manchester United are the best represented Premier League side, with six players - Romelu Lukaku, Antonio Valencia, Paul Pogba, David de Gea, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Nemanja Matic.
From BBC.

Well, there's proof that most professional footballers are thick as a brick. Anyone voting for Kane ahead of Agüero is either a team mate or a bonafide buffoon. The same goes for e.g. Ösil ahead of Silva.

It's just a popularity contest based on the 25,000 professional footballers' favourite teams, nothing more.

I'm suprised anyone voting for any rag besides de gea can even figure out how to use a computer (especially pogba or valencia)

Valencia is the biggest head scratched on the whole list. He was better at Wigan than at United for fuck's sake. If he played for any other team in the league players outside the Prem wouldn't even know who he is.

Really?
I think he's a decent right back. Especially at going forward. Not saying I'd sooner have him than Walker, but I do rate him

One of the best 55 players in Europe?
For me he blows hot and cold. He's got better since transformed to a wing/full back, but is he better than e.g. Coleman?

1. "unintelligible language"
2. "ACID QUEEN"
3. "never once fails to turn a football thread into a himseelf thread"
4. "thumbs stalker often resulting in repetitive thumb strain"
5. ignore the cunt. he's on permantent wum mission. only TIDs may know City
You'd need to make a very good psychiatrist in order to guess what next in a eight yrs long line of hatred...
In Roger Ailes/Donnie Drumpf's words: "don't know it for a fact, but many people say so..."
there must be some truth, then!

No he isn't one of the best 55 players. Not IMO anyway. But is is in the top 3 right backs in the PL over the last couple of years

Good article. Sets out the case very well.
I can hear a new chant now:
Our players are rubbish
And we're top of the league

Mind boggling isn't it.
Yaya
Silva
Mendy
Aguero
Walker
DeBruyne
None of these make the cut.
