Kdb is better than 2 players here in my opinion ,Not xavi not iniesta ,Not zidane not Ronaldinho

I will not mention the 2 players for peace to reign and respect for OG 👌
KDB is a total upgrade of the three lions trio on the list. We just have to wait till he retires , hopefully win this CL and we can finally appreciate him.

why should we wait until he retires? If he's that great a player, he would be celebrated while still playing, .. Messi was already been tag The GOAT of all generations at 25..

It takes a whole lot to be counted as one of the best. The KDB we're talking about here, what are the personal recognitions he has won in recent times both at club and the national team? What of his performance for his country? These are the criteria IMO.
Scholes and Lampard are his only mates in this list. TBH, I didn't watch much of scholes so I can't really say who is better. As for Lampard, both are on par IMO.

Kdb doesn’t need to win anything with his country before you acknowledge his greatness

National team football needs luck at times

Whether you agree or not, a lot of factors will be considered before a player can be recognized as one of the greats. National team achievements will always be considered. Mere statpadding against the like of Leeds and Wolves and hiding when it matter most in the national team won't get KDB among the like of Zidane and Iniesta.

You don’t need to be on zidane or iniesta level before you are being considered great

Just take a look at you trying to downplay kdb greatness with the likes of Leeds and wolves ,let’s all pretend that he isn’t performing well against big teams

You need luck with national team

You are being negatively presumptuous.

Go and check my past posts concerning VO move to Napoli. At the time Napoli was not having the kind of dominance it is has had NOW.

Thought it was great move for him.

I responded by stating a point and also giving examples you on the other hand replied in your usual condescending semi obnoxious manner without disproving any of the examples I raised.

Keep deluding yourself if that helps you sleep better at night.
You give generalistic statements based on self birthed assumptions.

I asked you how did you arrive at those deductions, you EVADED and are still evading.

I gave an experiential insight which unknown to you is anchored on urban economic demographics and urban socio-economic community regeneration.

This is a subject I am deeply familiar with and not just because I've lived the larger percentile of my life in the west and was born in the UK. That's incidental.

The Word is Ruthless, We lack that,
I just hope Coach Nduka will give Olowo most game time, cos we surely need that boy
It would be very interesting to know which clubs the Sengalese players are contracted too.

I've said this before I am astounded by the number of Franco phone Africans in French teams. I watched the PSG U14 and U15 and they were like giants.

But also technically astute and physically oustanding. The PSG team was 90% undiluted and unadulterated African black.

R u implying or saying that Zidan was once the greatest midfielders of all time but now KDB has dethroned hm?

I want to ask u a simple question, choose
Who is the greatest attacking midfielders of all time from these players below:
Maradona,
Zidan,
Ronaldinho,
Johan Cruyff,
KDB.
Just pick one name and nothing else.
For me Zidane has attributes that don't have a statistical unit of measurement.

His influence on the game immeasurable.
