I dare you to name a more versatile player than Milner.

Luis Enrique who played every position except Goalkeeper, same with Ruud Gullit

The CF for Milner is a bit suspect and he can't play CB

Enrique and Gullit played every position and did it well. The only position I would rule out for Gullit is LB

Y'all told us it was that spineless Busquets that made Barca great, just wondering why Messi didn't rate him.

Which DM did Messi list in his lineup that you would say is better than Busquets

I will give you gullit but definitely not Luis Enrique. Don't think he played in defense. Anyways I was actually trying to show how versatile Milner has been.

Just competent in all those positions. Versatility should be graded according to the actual quality.

Ruud Gullit played 3 positions at world class and a few others at elite level.

Luis Enrique played 3 positions at elite level and was good in a few others.

Matthaus and Lahm were world class at 3 positions.

Di Stefano was GOAT level in about 4-5 positions. John Charles was a world class CF and CB.

Milner's versatility and longevity are not in doubt though. The caveats are that his versatility was not with top quality and his longevity in actual minutes played is a little less impressive.


Ruud Gullit is the most versatile player of the modern era. 6'3 tall, strong as an ox, fast as a horse, supreme shooting and passing, aerial dominance, tackling, game IQ.

Di Stefano might have a claim since he got to GOAT level playing about 4-5 positions

Luis Enrique played at RB and RWB a few times. I believe it was under LVG.

I agree with most of your post.

I get the quality based argument but I think it underrates what James Milner actually did. Versatility shouldn't only be about being world class in multiple roles, it’s also about credibly performing across a wide range of positions for top teams over many seasons.

Managers trusted him in those multiple roles because he could execute the job at a high tactical level especially in an era more specialized, physically demanding where positional discipline is ruthless and mistakes get punished instantly. Obviously not as talented or world class as Guillet and others but the amount of positions he played in and did well in should put up him up there.

Oh no, i agree he is up there. Just a level bellow Gullit for me.

Even Luis Enrique shades it. He is basically Milner if you increase the rating sliders from 60 to 75.

Se.un really needs to fix his bhots. .

You serious so?
You are reporting issues to someone who can actually provide solutions, yet you are censoring his name.
Even when Seun’s name is mentioned 100 times, has he responded even once?
So why the need to censor it? This forum has grown beyond Seun’s direct control. He should do the needful by paying attention and listening to users’ complaints.

Lol. I don mention am tire. At this point, it doesn't even matter. Like you said, he doesn't respond and I doubt he even checks his mentions. Na PMs he go dey read.

By the way, antispambot fit go take am personal, knack me 50 years ban. Bot wey dey move like werey.

Nairaland has stalled for at least the last 8 years. I think Seun is exhausted. He spends more time on Twitter these days. It might be better to take a seat back and cede some level of control to someone with fresher energy and impetus.

It is better to write the Yoruba alone without giving it the tone mark. For some of us who can read Yoruba with ààmì, e dey give us a serious migraine. 😂

Messi used a non-DM to replace your spineless Busquets you claimed made Barca play tiki taka.

Shame on you and the overrated Busquets.

So Messi listed a lineup without a DM. And that is your proof that Busquets is not the greatest DM

This would have made sense if Messi had listed another DM in place f Busquets

How many DMs are Messi's ex-teamates?

The 2 spineless suapects , Valdes and Busquets were correctly dumped by Messi. Shame on you.

If you watched him or played efootball, you would know about Ruud Gullit.

Another BuLi team bites the dust...

I really feel for leagues in countries like Norway, Cyprus etc - they have every right to be aggrieved with the number of spots wey BuLi dey waste.

Imagine another Bodo in place of Dortmund

Goal!
