Interesting to read the posts regarding how players are rated

Question for Mark, why do you rate luke steele highly than he does?

 

Best Bfc player i have seen-Ronnie Glavin

Best player to play against Bfc i have seen-Dennis Bergkamp

Best player in an England shirt i have seen-Paul Gascoigne

Best international player i have seen-Roberto Baggio/Zico/Paulo Rossi

Best player in the world right now-Lionel Messi



I like pork pies,cheese,pot noodles,going for walks and watching tv.

 

Best player I've seen - Ruud Gullit playing for AC Milan v Man Utd
Best English player - Bryan Robson
Best Barnsley Player - Glavin, without a doubt
Best current player - Lionel Messi (only on tv)
Best current Barnsley player - only seen a few times live, so will have to go with Butters, or Steele.
Best current England player - Rooney. Don't like him as a person, but think he's a great player.

 

Not too sure as what you mean?
If you mean why do I rate him? Then its because he does everything a keeper should do and does it well. Hew can improve and is doing.
Does Steele not think he is a good keeper then?

 

Re: So you're agreeing with me, mate?

Of course I agree with you, not every time like!!!

 

he said i will not move to be a number two, aim is to play in prem but doesnt think hes good enough yet. also wants until late 30's and thinks he'll hit peak about 30.

my opinion is he can be a prem keeper but little things need to improve. kickings one big area.

 

Best player I've seen: Ronaldo (Brazilian one)
Best English player: Steven Gerrard
Best current player: Lionel Messi
Best Barnsley player: Brian Howard
Current Barnsley player: Jacob Butterfield
Current England player: Phil Jones

You got 2 right

 

I forgot..
Current England player I enjoy watching: Joe Hart, Grant Holt if he got a game.
Best player Ive seen against us this year: McDonald/Robson for Boro, Andrews for Ipswich, Phillips Blackpool, and that guy with the whistle for about 8 teams.
And Phil of Hemsworth is the best BBS poster, just edging out Orsenkaht

 

So he thinks he is a good keeper that will play in Prem, he thinks he will improve , not much different to what I said then!!

Tell me your best players H/T.

 

he doesnt now think hes good enough.

Drinkwater was good and so was Jacob Butterfield.

BTW i wasnt having ago.

 

Best player I've seen: Paul Scholes
Best English player: Paul Scholes
Best current player: Lionel Messi/Paul Scholes
Best Barnsley player: Craig Hignett
Current Barnsley player: Jacob Butterfield
Current England player: Wayne Rooney

 

Go on then, mine:

Best player I've seen - Glenn Hoddle
Best English player - Glenn Hoddle. No player since Hoddle - and I include Gascoigne - has made me feel the game could be both elegant and beautiful. Le Tiss on song came close.
Best Barnsley Player - Hignett. Didn't see much of Glavin.
Best current player - Lionel Messi or, on current form, van Persie.
Best current Barnsley player - No idea. Not been this season. Is Chris Shuker still there?
Best current England player - Best English player is Rooney, without a doubt, but only for his club. Best player when playing for England, as in the most consistent for his country, is probably Ashley Cole.

 

Tell us who in your opinion are the best players you have seen
World- past and present
Enland- past and present
Barnsley -past and present

Remember these are who YOU think are the best, noit what you have heard someone else say. Players you have seen.

 

Zidane. It's worth watching the many You Tube clips because like all great players he makes the incredibly difficult look not only very easy, but he has so much time doing them that other players look like school kids beside him.

And to top it off he used both feet. Bloke was a footballing genius. The only English player to come close was Gazza, and anyone disagreeing is wrong

 

On paper it's not a difficult request you have made.

 

England past - Gazza
England present - Rooney
Barnsley past - Hignett
Barnsley present - Butterfield
World past - Zidane
World present - Messi

 

Formulating one's own opinions

Nothing more.

 

I liked Bobby Doyle, too

But he couldn't half be a mardy bugger at times!

 

for Barnsley god glavin /john Betany

 

It's interesting to note that most players mentioned in the thread are attack minded, and whilst I concur with most omn here about the best Barnsley player I've ever seen is Glavin, there should be some acknowledgement that football is not always about attacking, afetr all why do we have defenders?
Anyway it's mightily unfair to compare yesteryear players to modern day ones as nowadays there is so much more footage of players both home & overseas.....
One could go on about best striker, midfielder etc but from what i've seen there are precious few English players who could hold their own abroad.....thinking now of proven ones like Hoddle/Gascoigne and ones that didn't do themselves justice -Rush for example
