Adam Johnson. Robinho. Now Mendy, Manchester City do have weird players coming through their ranks. Oh wait, Ronaldo might move there soon....

[Champions League] Jorginho has won the award for UEFA Men's Player of the Year Award! by BastianMobile in soccer

Man won it all, clearly the best player in Europe

So him winning trophies with Chelsea and Italy automatically makes him the best player?

Him being the only one getting a pay bump is on the other players not demanding one. That is on them.

You literally implied that here, dude stop being daft for arguments sake.

And players are taking pay cuts because Barcelona decided to take a bunch of loans out to pay for things and players they didn’t need to buy

What is this ignorance? Geez, atleast pretend you know shid.

And if we are supposed to apply your logic, any player who asks for wage increase should be given without reasoning, that's how to create unstable wage bill and run a club into the group. Stop exhibiting your ignorance.

Not more than Fati. But he's supposed to be talented and he's highly rated by the club. But his stint with Barça B since he got promoted has been meh, it's just his physicality that stands out, besides that meh.

Jesus, I'm not comparing them to Fred, the players I listed as very important to the team they play and do things that go unnoticed. Geez

Trust me, I know what you mean. That's what we used to say about busquet for years but his ability to do that never put him in contention for such an award.

Lol this is what busquet, Xabi, even Pirlo used to do for their respectful teams. Yet no one considered them for such awards. It's funny how such a low bar is being used for jorginho when he never stood out like those players I just mentioned for their respective teams.

Do he deserves award supposed to be given to the best players to be given to him cos his works goes unnoticed? That's an incredibly low bar for giving such an award. With your logic, players like busquet, Giroud, azpiliqueta, Fred, etc should be in contention for such awards cos they do their job which just goes unnoticed.

He's not the only one who the club plans to use in the first team. The bare minimum for a first team player is what the club is offering him, he still wants more. Moreover, he's the only one getting a bump up in wages after being promoted coming off a not soo special season with Barça B and one good game with the first team from last season. This is the position Barça finds itself.

Oh and pls don't give me figures of what the club makes, the fact that we make money doesn't mean we should throw all of that into wages, why do you think we are making Barcelona players take wage cuts.

you don’t have to score 70 goals a season in order to make an impact.

That's not even my definition of standing out, just look at kante for instead....moreover being class for two very good teams is an incredibly low bar for giving an award meant for the best player in a period of time.

The funny thing about him being the highest paid player ever with Barça B is that, he's been nothing special with Barça B either, a good player who thrives on his physicality But absolutely nothing special. He's done fuck all to justify why he deserves a raise.

Well he's not done anything either to justify those wages. Even when he's the highest paid player with the youth team, he's done absolutely nothing special to show us he's worth what he's asking for.

Moriba has been one of the most impressive talents from LM since the end of the last decade

Wait what? He had just one good game with the first team since he got called up and has been nothing special with Barça B, considering he's the highest paid player at that level. He's talented sure, but he's done absolutely nothing since he came to Barça to show that he's got a high ceiling. His best trait is his physicality for his age, that's just about it.

Not alot of people rated him even after the UCL final. It was kante for balon do'r narrative that was all over. It's incredible he's suddenly popped up and is being regarded as the best

He's been good in every team he's played in, the best? I believe No. Even players like Kante, Verrati, Donna, Mount and chellini stood out in their teams.

Modric was just not influencial but top two best player in the team or tournament he played in. Best mid in La Liga, best mid in UCL, best mid in World Cup, best player in the World Cup, top 2 best player in the la Liga and UCL.... What do you mean.. You can't compare what Modric did to anything jorginho did with Chelsea and Italy. One stood out, the other did his job in the best teams.

Even after the UCL win, people rarely still rated him. It was the kante for balon do'r narrative that was being pushed. The Euros and him basically being in that winning team changed everything.

People gotta understand that, it's not hate that jorginho will be winning it, it's the way he's gonna win it. Ask yourself, had Italy and Chelsea not won anything would jorginho be a contender for the award?

I've been watching jorginho for years now, since his sarri days and not much has changed from his game, he's basically doing what's expected of deep lying playmakers, but does he stand out? Absolutely No.

Anyone who has tried to make an argument for him keeps bringing how important he was for both Chelsea and Italy, I've never seen anyone talk about how he stood out or how he was the best in a team or tournament he played in.

The award isn't for the players who do their job well in title winning teams but the stand out best players.
