10 most exciting players to watch in europe.

at the moment it's between Holtby and Poldi

van Wolfswinkel

Agree fully with Pastore, Hernanes and Bale.

Pastore will be a world beater - there is something of kaka in his appearance, very languid.

I love Bale's ability to hit a good cross whilst on the run - very difficult to do.

pastore!!

is he another argentine wonderkid that wont life up the hype!

Kagawa and Sahin have been great to watch so far this season in the Bundesliga. Kagawa probably the more exciting to watch on the ball, but Sahin has been the more influential.

true, the dortmund lads are wonderful too watch

also mario götze is fantastic, his visison and passing is outstanding for his 18 years


i really hope dortmund stay together, they can become huge

Totti with another brilliant assist last night.

That was a vintage Totti pass

It amazes me how BITTERBALLEN you sound whenever anyone dares hype up an established Premier League player, yet you're constantly telling us about the destined GREATNESS of mere embryos who often haven't even played more than a handful of Bundesliga games

What's your problem with Bale then?

He's not even English, so the old "English media hypes up English players" argument is down the proverbial toilet

(although the kid's entire footballing education has been in England)

Is Big Ears to be treated with contempt for daring to heep praise on a twenty year old left back cum winger who scored a Hat trick away to the European Champions when his team were down to ten men?

If he were German, you'd be lauding him as a fucking HERO for his never-give-up attitude.

If we can't get excited about a performance like that, then perhaps you could put us all right and let me know WHEN are we allowed to get excited?

Think about it

He's brilliant, but a classic out-and-out winger/wide player and as such not quite my cup of tea

You're like a mini Wenger - what's wrong with classic wingers?! In my mind, no better sight than a winger tearing down the byline slaloming tackles and putting in the perfect cross or shot. Bale's first last night was everything to admire about the classic winger.

Allez means to say Ozil > Bale

Well yeah Zizou... I knew some bellend would rock up and complain you really are very sensitive this week Bernd. Watch you don't get like Spanky used to be chasing everyone down who said anything even mildly disobliging about the c**ts.

I just described a Spurs player as brilliant for feck's sake. The rest is my personal preference, which I've explained before. Your "tearing down to the byline and boshing a cross in" is not my favourite thing in fußball, deal with it.

All his goals were the same anyway

What?!

I was only asking you a question as to what you don't like about traditional wingers as I'm curious. Or did you read the "mini-Wenger" comment as an insult?

Sheesh kebabs, what an extraordinary outburst

Yours was the unexpected random outburst!! Shayzus.

I thought I'd explained before, albeit not at length. Will attempt later if time. And what has this Rooney fucker been up to, I is well confused.

Yes I did read it as an insult as you don't like him but I accept it was meant as a compliment now. Then again "mini-" is always annoying...

Amusingly, it wasn't meant to be an insult. Or indeed meant to sound remotely sensitive about your pro Bale comments As I'm often having to type under duress - on the odd moment I can steal here and there from my daily work commitments - perhaps the tone is lost in translation.

I may not like the Wenger chap much (his blind, one-eyed post match reviews for example), but I certainly admire his footballing philosophy. To such a degree that I've been informed by Saints that I like to indulge in a bit of Arse cock sucking. Hmmmmmm

Incidentally, I don't even like the Redknapp chap much either, but again - what he's done for us on the pitch makes me a firm admirer.

Arsenal don't like to play with traditional wingers, so I am curious if this plays/ed a part in why you're not so keen on wingers, given this is presumably the majority style of the football you will probably watch?

Hilarious. Man United fans have been collapsing in frothing fits of rage all over Surrey, and now Rooney's pretty much said "nah, I was just kidding, love it here really". Will be awesome seeing the general reaction to this

I guess I like interchanging and flexibility, any range of options in passing through a team, without being tied to the roles of "classic" wingers in the manner of a Bale or Giggs or inviting ridicule by talking of "total" football. I just on balance prefer a Thomas Müller type (can't help suspecting that in his heart of hearts someone like TS perhaps sympathizes).

Obviously the cross from the byline has to be at least part of every team's armoury, it's about variety, and often for instance one natural wide player and one wide midfielder/playmaker nominally playing out wide is a good combination. Just my own taste...

@ Allez

Muller >>> Ozil.

I may be gay for him.... "PAUSE, NO HOMO"

He's got the best brain of any player I have seen at that age.
