Sancho, Havertz, Joao Felix and De ligt are the the top 4 Imo.
De ligt poor start might count against him

edi287:
Yep alongside Havertz and Joao Felix.

edi287:
FIFPro 11 was a joke. Marcelo, Modric and Ramos making the team while the likes of TAA, Robertson, Mane and Salah were left out killed the legitimacy of the award.

Danielnino00:
IMO, Sancho deserves it more... he has been great since he joined Dortmund.

18 goals and 29 assists in 63 apps

In 2004, Davies began his UEFA coaching licences while also attending Loughborough University, where he studied Sport Science, and working in various youth coaching roles.

After graduating from Loughborough with 1st class honours in 2007, Davies was a youth coach in New Zealand for 3 seasons, including at Hawke's Bay United, where he worked alongside Bobby and Jonathan Gould.

In 2010, aged 25, Davies was recruited as an assistant coach by Brendan Rodgers, who was the newly appointed Swansea City manager. In their first season, Swansea City were promoted to the Premier League.

Davies moved with Rodgers to Liverpool in June 2012, and left his position at Liverpool on 8 October 2015. During his time at Liverpool, Davies completed his UEFA Pro Licence in 2015.

Davies rejoined Reading on 1 January 2016 as their first team coach. At 30-years-old, Davies became the youngest first team coach in the club's history.

In June 2016, Davies moved to Celtic, becoming assistant manager to Rodgers. In their first season in charge, Celtic won the domestic treble for only the fourth time in the club's history, as they reshaped the squad with youthful flair.

Celtic would go on to break their own 100-year-old record for successive domestic games unbeaten, going 69 matches without defeat.

In February 2019, Davies moved with Rodgers to Leicester City, again as his assistant manager.

Chris Davies has been on Rodgers side most of Rodgers career and I feel Chris is a big part of the brilliant tactical play.

I hope Nacho is learning loads from him. Chris seems very interested in Iheanacho and has been the one answering most of the questions from Iheanacho.

Balogun MUST leave Brighton this January, his career depends on it

Someone with your level of experience is carrying media reports like it's biblical authority.

You should know what is said in.the media and what is said one to one are many many miles apart. You talk like someone who doesn't know the game.

In my experience l have always found what players, Managers and coaches say to me off the record is a thousand miles different from what is said in the media.

I expected you to know this.

TheGoodJoe:
Graham Potter of Brighton is very bright and he has got the team playing some breathtaking football when it comes to build up plays.

I say Balogun completes the season with him before making a jump. I bet he has not gotten the kind of education he is getting from Potter than he has with any coach.

Samu and Dele Bashiru named as nominees for Golden Boy award...

TheGoodJoe:
With your level of experience, you should know I will listen to a manager who works every day of the week with a player over you who have no idea what is going on in the camp of the player.

komekn:
This is not the place to talk about who you know or don't know. Thats not the point.

I am telling you the REALITY of football and media.

But you want to rely on media.

elyte89:
U just love our players "SOAKING UP KNOWLEDGE"

TheGoodJoe:
With your level of experience, where do you get information on players? Are you saying you have watched all players from Thierry Henry, Ronaldo De Lima, Maradona, David Beckham, Paolo Maldini, Totti, Iniesta, Xavi etc on the training pitches?

Apart from live games, the most regarded source of information on football players are from media reports.

You should be experienced enough to know this. Why do we have sports news, articles, journals, reports, blogs, websites etc? It is to study and draw information on them.

What you wrote up there does not add up in any way.

komekn:
No absolutely not.

Your approach is wrong.

First of all even of l watch players in training day in day out my view and assessment are IRRELEVANT.

It's the coaching staffs view that is pertinent not mine. You must understand what Dyche is looking for at Burnley and what Klopp is looking for ate completely different.

That's why you talk to coaches, managers and players to get a feel for the club. So for instance there are very few Black players l would advise to sign for Burnley. I know the club and what l know you will NEVER FIND in the media.

That's why I never ever rely on solely on media reports.

I believe he will have a decent career even though we envisaged a glorious picture initially for him.

Afterall, most footballers retire with average careers anyway.

What does Balogun want to learn at 31? At most he has 3-4 years of top flight football in him

TheGoodJoe:
Leonardo Bonucci is still waxing strong at 32. If Balogun has 3-4 years based on your assumption, he can have 2-3years playing quality defensive creative play which will do him more than sticking to the old average routine.

Graham Potter's defensive build up plays is on par with the best coaches in the game.
