1 year agoCM is far too vague.
Vieira - great, played with greats and built a legacy. I can’t say he wouldn’t be in my midfield 3 for Prem XI.
Gerrard - apologies to all Liverpool fans, he never won it, he can’t be in the conversation. He was unreal yes, but as a CM, I genuinely believe Xabi Alonso is one of the best to don a Liverpool shirt.
Scholes, Lampard, David Silva, Kante, KDB are all easy choices. All great in their own right but not the complete CM.
For me, Yaya Toure.
If I could pick any player to stick in my midfield it would be him. I personally don’t think he gets enough credit.
Jude Bellignham & Erling Haaland.
Both been in the Bundesliga.
Their first seasons after leaving, Haaland could genuinely have had 50, he was on track for more than 35 this time last year.
Bellingham has contributed 11 goals and 2 assists in La Liga so far. He could score 25 realistically.
Bayern create plenty chances in the Bundesliga, much like City in the PL and Madrid in LL.
Haaland has wasted big chances this year and is still on course for 30+.
Joselu at Madrid should have 15 at least this season but he’s been poor ( or just played to his standard )
Kane has hit the ground running and been clinical for the most part. Lewandowski is playing with a developing Barca team, he doesn’t get the chances he deserves at the minute.
Now if Choupo-Moting was getting 25+ a season with Bayern, I’d have to agree with you. But, he’s not, because he’s not world class striker unlike Kane & Lewa.
Mbappe is a prime example of a stat padder.
Still at PSG in the farmers league.
If he ever leaves, for me, he should go to the PL. If he gets 30 goal contributions for 5 seasons or more, I’ll no longer call him a stat padder.
