Controversial football opinions

My controversial opinions:

Stoke and Palace have the best fans in England if not the world.

I appreciate and respect the way Arsenal have run themselves as a club in the PL.

Busquets is the most over-rated player in world football atm.

Aguero is better than Suarez.

We should go back to the maximum 6 foreign players in 23 man squad limit in PL, limit of 3 in the Championship and limit of 1 below that.

The German national team that won the '14 world cup would have beaten the Spain national team that won the '08 euros, the '10 world cup and the '12 euros.

Drogba is less of a club legend than Lamps and JT, and his legend has been over-inflated because of the romance of scoring the winning CL penalty.

I. I.. wa... waha... what :blink: Without trying to be disrespectful, I think you're trying to be controversial right now!

I think he's useless. I honestly didn't know it was a controversial opinion until I saw the love-in for him on this forum. So no, not trying to be controversial.

While you're probably right, Arsenal this season prove it could be possible. Their 6 foreign players could be: Ozil, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Debuchy, Ospina and Sanchez and 13 of their 17 British/HG/U21 players could be: Szczesny, Chambers, Gibbs, Wilshere, Zelalem, Ramsey, Ox, Gnabry, Miyachi, Walcott, Welbeck, Jenkinson, and Sanogo.

That would mean only 4 from the youth academy needed. And that's Arsenal's current team minus Monreal, Arteta, Flamini, Cazorla, Diaby, Rosicky, Giroud, and Podolski. Hardly much weaker and the current Arsenal team is decent. It is do-able.

He's an automatic starter for one of the best teams in the world, he displaced Toure at the age of 22 (I think :lol:) He's amazing, he's one of those players that never get recognition until you lose him / he retires

Ronaldo v Messi is a pointless discussion. I would have EITHER at Chelsea if Roman wasn't too tight fisted to get us us both.

Oh and Aguero for the bench

But you do realize we're talking about Brazilian Ronaldo, not Cristiano Ronaldo, right? It's not CR7 vs. Messi again.

Well you're not meant to agree with me. That is the point of this topic. I do think the home-grown must be disassembled, or much less stricter.

well fair enough about the thread. But what do you think is wrong with it? there is a real lack of English players in the league in general so I don't see what's really wrong with the rule. It is the English Premier League after all

I don't think players before the 90s should be included in the "best of all time" lists. They were only great in their time. Football has really evolved with training methods and tactics etc that there is no way most of them can really be considered better than modern players.
