Which of these players

All great players but the two I despise are hazard and salad. No greater diver than salad. Hazard was a genius against spurs, always caused us probs. Respect Pires Sanchez great at Arsenal (forgot all about him). Bale, what can I say, love, love love! Sublime contributions at times, he is up there with Gascoigne, Hoddle and Waddle to name but a few.

If I had to sign them in their prime.
Bale
Hazard
Pires
Salad
Sanchez

Hate to say it but Bale

From a biased perspective I have never enjoyed watching a footballer play more than Hazard. Whether he is better or worse than other top players is irrelevant to that consideration.

I do enjoy this beauty from Salah though

The cluelessness in this thread is embarrassing beyond belief. Completely pointless asking the majority of this board to share opinions on anything requiring knowledge that stretches bank more than a season or two.

Hi Brighty

I must admit I sold Pires short by ranking him below the others, but could have been just Spurs bias talking. I picked Sanchez too high more based on the ones stellar season he had, but in reality he didn't display enough consistency.

My renewed rankings therefore:

Salah
Bale
Hazard
Pires
Sanchez

No doubt Salah is a goal scorer, bar finals it seems thinks it 0 goals, non penalty, in something like 11, but is that what most folk look at to decide who is better as a footballer?

I mean shearer has a great record but he wasn't as exciting as fat Ronaldo and that's just goal scorers.

For me I appreciate a good striker but the main man is always someone for m MF or on the wings who gets you up off your seat.

So, salah

yeah, salah doesnt just score goals, as i said before multiple goal of the seasons, individual moments of brilliance he gets u off ur seat, unless u have an agenda ofc, then he just scores goals i guess.

Hey Jim.

I actually think number 1 (Bale) and number 5 (Sanchez) are fairly easy choices for me on this one. It’s the way in which Pires, a wide playing playmaker of underrated guile, culture and intellect (a lot of his goals were scored through his footballing IQ and positional awareness) is being do easily dismissed beggars belief. His goal return for a traditional wife midfield player (ie wide in a 4-4-2) was superb, his Pirlo-like affinity to involve himself from genesis to final ball in our build up and intricate execution of the time was unmatched and his reinvention after doing his cruciate from primary provider to second most prominent goal getter was testament to the IQ I mentioned earlier.

I don’t mind people ranking Salah and Hazard (I think he’s better than Hazard who had higher highs, but horrific lows) above him, but to dismiss him as competition at all is just indicative of how football fans today think speaking in absolutes makes their opinions mean more. Bunch of embarrassing messes.
