So your brain cant tell you something is wrong with your 5year season wonder, why he could nt be adjudged best midfielder throughout those 5 years? Only for you to be shouting up and down he's the best DM in the world. Why didn't he win it at least once? The fact illara won it 2013, means he was the best that year according to la liga board who had sensible experts unlike roadside wa.ck analysts like you, whether he wins it after that year is no one's concern. svck that.
I would rather have a player who is amongst the top for 5 years than a one season wonder like Illara. Of course you are too ret@rded to comprehend this.

Where is Illara now? Eran ibiye

He was recognized as a DM when he was awarded in 2009 as 3rd best midfielder, behind lassana diarra. So you are the 1mbecile here.
Can you read at all? I asked when he was nominated at Balon D'Or level and you go on to mention Lassana Diarra. You are a phool! And you have confirmed my initial suspicion of your senility

Less than 30 mins ago you were asked a simple question and you completely veered off target. You need TB Joshua. Efulefu

The fact is here before your eyes, no one see Sergio biscuit as a spectacular player, even Madrid's perez always said it. Laliga ,LFC confirmed it. If not for nepotism that made pep to encourage the diving diver, he would by now be doing another trade. We have greatest DMs and only a f00l will say Sergio is the best now, let alone adding him to the list. Dynamism of Yaya toure made him to be used to the optimum in Manchester city, which paid off for him and club. But Sergio is a normal dm who has very limited football skill. He is just like valdes at Barcelona. Xabi Alonso , schweiny, kroos are better DM than your diving diver. Don't remain in your bungalow, use your upstairs.
'Madrid's Perez said it' can you imagine this ignoramus? Del Bosque, Tata Martino, Luis Enrique are also encouraging nepotism? Clearly they have traded your brains for a pot of porridge.

We have seen the optimal use and dynamism of Yaya Toure that is why for 5 seasons now he has not helped City get past the second round of the UCL.

They are calling good DM's this obo langido is mentioning Kroos. Wayo Allah! Your situation is critical

So that means Illara is better than Koke? Or Busquets? Ewu!

So if they asked you who was the better DM you will mention Illara? You need TB Joshua

Yes , I knew you are not smart and would fall for my boo.by trap. Dayo is more brilliant than you, hence he kept off arguing further. Now that's to further confirm yaya toure is miles ahead of your diver. Mind you apart from the fact yaya toure was nominated 3 times , 2012,2013,2014 as against bisquit only once. Check on the same 2012 ballon d'or rating after the first 3 were picked. below is the rating of the rest nominees, the ranking of yaya at number 12 and your bisquit at number 20. Only olori dota, itiboribo like you will rate Sergio ahead of yaya toure. Next time argue smartly. Guillotined. Bye Dolt.

This is you not once, not twice but 3 different times claiming Busquets had never been honored. How can an Oponu like you set booby trap for 40? We cannot even have a battle of wits because you are not armed just like Will Smith will say.

Are you so indefatigably stewpeeed to realize that Yaya Toure has stopped playing at DM since he left Barca. !mbecile! the argument is not about who is the better player and it has never been. If you were not so phoolish and irretrievably obtuse it will not take you an eternity to realize we are comparing their abilities as defensive midfielders.

How many Balon D'ors did Yaya Toure get nominated for playing in that position?

Senile old phool!

I'm sure you know how FIFA computes its own ranking.
My complaint is the use of national team success in determining the best league.
FIFA ranking is flimsy no logical deductions can be made with their rankings. Secondly how can we talk of National Team success and you mention Wales?

StarBoard:
How is it far-fetched?
You want to use Germany and Spain recent national team success as reference to buttress your point but Wales as we speak is higher up FIFAs ranking than Spain.
And the question about Wales is what I'm after. If Wales is That high up in FIFA's ranking of NATIONAL sides, doesn't that throw your argument about national sides being a product of their leagues.
Unless we want to say FIFA rankings for national sides don't mean a thing.
Are you equating World and European Championships to a team who has no recent or past success? I want to know what Wales has achieved that you choose to put them and success in the same sentence. Where FIFA opt to put Wales is not my concern, their metrics and UEFA's are as wide as the heavens to the earth. They are too dissimilar to make any

StarBoard:
Guy EPL had an all English final 5 full years before the all German final. There was also an all-Spanish final before that so it is nothing new.
There was a time for three seasons running English sides provided 3 teams in the semi finals and there were 6 English sides in 7 finals and 5 straight finals from the period 2005 till 2011.
Been there done that.
If you want to base your argument on EUROPEAN CLUB COMPETITION I could listen but don't bring national team success into this argument because you very well know that it doesn't always work that way. That is why I look at the Fifa ranking and see Wales at no.10 and wonder what you all mean by league being strong due to how the national team performs.
How
La Liga had an all Spanish Final 8 years before EPL so that is not saying much. Even Serie A had all Italian Final 5 years before EPL. Does it mean Serie A is better?

Circa 2005-2011 if you came out to proclaim EPL as the strongest league in the world no one will argue with you.

That won't fly in 2015 where EPL is failing left, right and center and have done so sufficiently to drop to 3rd position.

When Nyabinghi is talking about a league being strong due to its National team he didn't make a blanket statement he specifically targeted two teams so let's leave story for Puff Daddy

Wales are in FIFAs top 10 ranking, higher than Spain.
On the basis of that the Welsh League is better than LaLiga.

That the Bundesliga lately and La Liga earlier on had an impact on their respective national sides fortunes is not conclusive enough to buttress your point about they being better leagues than the EPL.
Top sides in the EPL are filled with imports from both Germany and Spain. How are the three lizards going to do well in international competition when their teams don't go after homegrown talent as a priority?
The UCL rankings are calculated over the period of 5 years. Do you know how FIFA go about their own rankings?

This comparison is too far fetched. What is Wales noteworthy achievement? La Liga are on the brink of a back to back European supercup Final. Bundesliga produced an all-German Final 2 years ago formed the core of a WC winning team and by co-efficients (which calculates performances over 5 years) they have out-performed the EPL

What does this have to do with Wales or the Welsh League?

So wait BuLi and La Liga are Wales and EPL is Spain.

BuLi. Both leagues have had success for club and its spilled to country but EPL is Spanish National team and BULI and La Liga are Wales. huh huh

You are a ret@rd! Who cares about whatever influence Hazard has in Chelsea? What was his competition for PFA? Harry Kane, Coutinho. What a doofus!

He does not deserve to be in the top 10 that can never change the fact that Hazard is a local champion and has no track record of note in any major international competition.

Sergio Busquets is a better defensive midfielder than Yaya Toure only an obtuse he-goat like yourself would argue on the contrary. Sergio Ignoramus! Not that individual awards really matter but You don't even know that Busquets has been noticed in the past

The EPL hype machine is quite formidable so by default a player that wins PFA will make UEFA top 10 even when he does nothing in elite Europe, I care very little for individual awards. Two Bayern players made the 3 man shortlist last year its no biggie but ko mo e lara and I can see why Ikedia's nomination for ordinary top 10 dey shack you like Sapele water.

I have told you people over and over again. Don't ever use Messi and Ronaldo as an alibi for Ikedia's failures. They have like 5-6 UCL titles between them while Hazard has zilch.

Una don forget say Hazard na small boi to Robben.
What if Hazard, like Gotze nd Muller has a leader nd more experienced Winger like Robben in Chelsea.
Ronaldo is also 5 or 6 years older than Hazard, Madrid are also heavily reliant on him.

What do you mean by take over? Mueller scored a total of 21 goals and provided 18 assists last season, Goetze dropped 15 goals from open play.

Mueller - 7 goals and 3 assists in the UCL
Goetze - 4 goals and 3 assists in the UCL

We could have lost to Barca even with Robben playing, I just want to cancel that idea in your head that Goetze and Mueller are not playing their role. Goetze's brilliance has helped his team to a Champions League Final, Mueller has helped his team win the title

I know say na because you be Chelsea fan na why you yarn like that. Its allowed

But as far as DM play goes Matic na apprentice to Busquets, apprentice wey never collect freedom I might add

Busquets is a precision player and what sticks out about him is that he almost never loses the ball, this is a very important trait for a player sitting in front of a defence that plays so close to the halfway line of the opponent I usually don't know whether to cry or laugh so I end up doing both when people in real life and web compare what Busquets does to Mikel's style of play. People talk about Barca's ball possession and don't even know Busquets is key to the system and why it works. If you watch American Football then you would know Busquets is like the Center or Offensive tackle that creates a pocket for the quarterback to throw. For Xavi the QB to thrive he needs guys like Busquets (OT, Center) to recycle possession and keep things ticking nicely. Like I always tell you guys when a player is starting for World and European Champions (at club and country) they are definitely doing something right

As for Sterling what else is there to be said. 7th highest transfer of all-time for a player that has had 1 good season.

I think recruiting via Free agency is the best way to rebuild in this era, relying on drafting a great player, In the draft leaves too much to chance.
If relying on drafting picks is the way the Spurs could've blown thing off.
Even Miami is stronger now by picking up good player via trade and FA.


I think GSW saying Curry will become this great is revisionist history at its finest.
Since Monta and curry both start for the warrior in his time there.
Recruiting via Free agency is the shortcut and easy way out. Scouting and making the right picks is always the better and more sustainable option. Players earn their contract and there is little room to overpay anyone

The Heat are not contenders for next year's Championship even with Bosh's return, let's not kid ourselves here.

The Spurs are still enjoying the smart draft picks they made decades ago. Look at how Cuban is running around shamelessly trying to recruit agents instead of firing his GM and getting better evaluators of talent. Perhaps if the Mavs had drafted a decent player since Josh Howard maybe Dirk would have more rings.

Free agency should supplement what you already have. When you make it your bottomline you will always be in a flux.

I'm glad you used Golden State as an example. Do you know that besides betting the house on Curry they also refused to trade Klay Thompson for Kevin Love? It is rare for a team to be rewarded so instantly like GSW were but the beauty is their team is setup to compete for the next 5 years if guys like Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Harrison Barnes keep improving, They will not need any marquee free agents but complimentary pieces and they will find it easier to get 1 or 2 good veteran players who would even take less money to play with them

I remember we had a tiny beef earlier in the season where you thought the front office savvy regarding draft picks was going to help the celtics. But NBA talent is a funny thing - all the teams that have tried this route have almost always flopped, chicago bulls pre-rose being the poster boy. other than okc thunder,, i havent seen any team that built from ground up and had lasting success. You always needed that superstar. In todays league, even 2 superstars is not enough.

Still, that team should be fun to watch and very marketable to the local boston fan base. In the East, they might even make the playoffs. Unless they get a 6 seed or higher though, obviously it will be a round 1 exit
A lot of teams out there lack foresight and want to shortcut the process. This is why I like the NFL so much. You have to make your draft picks work and there is no guaranteed success regardless of how high they are

The Spurs are another team that built from the ground. I think the core of your team has to be draft picks if you are looking for long-term success. Bird with the Celts, Magic and Worthy with the Lakers, M.J and Scottie with the Bulls, Robinson, Duncan with the Spurs, Kobe, Bynum with the Lakers.

OKC have been held back by injuries and poor coaching if you ask me

Infact Lebron and the Heat are the only hastily assembled team with multiple championships and their demise was brutal
