He's a pro athlete. He gets paid 40k per week to train and play. The only excuse you have to skip training is if you're injured or having personal issues

I don't believe you can really blame Schurrle for Man City's goal, Ivanovic was no where in site. If it was Ramires or Dave who missed the run then sure, but w/e. I wouldn't say he struggled against Bolton either

...

They don't know anything.. majority of voters probably haven't even watched him play more than 10 times! But the best athlete is entirely subjective, I believe that goes to Usain Bolt or Muhammad Ali.

I agree with you, one of the best players of all time is a stretch. One of the best players of this generation is correct. He's got nothing on Zidane, Romario, Garrincha, Messi, Maradona etc.

Off the top of my head... Burnley (started, goal) Bolton (started) Swansea (played 45 minutes) Schalke (didn't play) Man City (played for 28 minutes, scored) Everton (didn't play) Leicester (played 63 minutes) Aston Villa (played 23 minutes) Arsenal (started) Sporting (started) he featured in 7/9 games, started 4 of them. that means he played 431 minutes out of a possible 810. Not bad, especially playing fairly limited minutes.

oh shit my bad

rightly so, hazard has been poor for belgium for a few months now

Costa won player of the month

highly annoying, should gave won it. still, a commendable effort

ok.

lol he's started like 5 games, calm down

uhmmm.... because it's a forum? and forums are kind of meant for conversations?

So you make this comment... And then get butthurt when Spyker calls Germans rude..

thiago alcantara is the new cesc/xavi. koke could be too, but they're different types od players

https://twitter.com/YuryAlkaev/status/521310417696858112 You've got to be joking. Either he's lying or.. he's probably lying

Exactly, agree 100%. People judge too much without even watching. I'd take him here if we didn't pay over 30m, he would be perfect for us on the right

Oh man I remember that 2004/05 team.. one of the best of all time I think. Only better teams were Barcelona 2008-2011 and a few of the Man Utd, AC Milan and Real Madri sides

I'm going to assume you watched tonnes of Atletico Madrid. Turan is most definitely better than Reus, even though they're different type of wingers. ah, messi really is a better fullback than Lahm! You're right. How is Luis not one of the 10 best players in the world? Which LB would you have over him? Alaba? Azpilicueta? Kolorov?

Lahm doesn't belong on the list? Are you insane

Luis is the best LB in the world.. did you even watch him last season? And because you're "laughing your ass off off" i'll you give you 10 more Toure Godin David Silva Kompany Thiago Silva Aguero Arda Turan Lewandowski Lloris Ribery Robben

actually man city are the best team in england because they won the league last season..

lolwat Lahm Neuer Ibra Suarez Messi Chiellini Ronaldo Di Maria Kroos Hummels Filipe Luis one of the 10 best players in the world is a bit of a stretch..
