Hahaha that’s not my tier list, the post was edited by @GrandOldTeam

 

[collymcd]

Yep

2007 Kaka was better than any version of Zidane

What about headbutting Zidane?

Interesting. I need to check this out. Always thought Zidane was the best of the modern ballers pre Messi.

Most of the unreliable ones still apply to us though don’t they?

Pretty much, it's just missing ToffeeTV

Yeah it's a decent enough start.

We will have a system soon to rank sources - so the community will collectively score.

But it's a start.

Can’t wait to vote the Echo a big fat 0/10.

Absurdly good at dribbling, the ball just sticks to his foot. There was a goal he scored a few years ago against our U23’s where he just waltzed through basically our entire side.

He was linked to us a month or so a go,
Chelsea had first option on him or something up untill a certain date , which has gone now.

Tarashaj is on loan until his contract with us expires so he's basically gone.

Shani Tarashaj - Player profile

Shani Tarashaj ➤ former footballer from Switzerland ➤ Second Striker ➤ last club: FC Zürich U21 ➤ * Feb 7, 1995 in Hausen am Albis, Switzerland

www.transfermarkt.co.uk

apparently we restructured the deal in 2019 so that he could go on loan to emmen for 2 years, so his contract now doesn't expire until end of 2021

still on book technically until end of 2021 season but he will be on loan at emmen and we will still pay a percentage of his wages

 

[Robert Chambers]

We MUST bring Barkley back

To do what?

 

[Robert Chambers]

I’m not saying he was crap by any shade of the imagination but I don’t think he was as good as people try to remember!

He really was.
