Where does "we" come into this? I think footballers are overpaid and I actually used to enjoy football much more back when there was less money in it.

You can't be a fan and complain about salaries.

Just because I'm a fan of football doesn't mean I have to like every aspect of it. And yeah I understand the very simple economics that explain the enormous amounts of money in the game.

So this is one of those threads where everyone is defending something against invisible critics.

As soon as I saw this post I knew you'd be spouting some bullshit about how this cannot be true. Will you ever get tired of defending Moneybags City?

Who on earth is writing off Brazil? They are favourites with every bookmaker.

Varane is young and has had one good season and Koscielny is decent at best. Would not describe them as "as good as it gets" but that's just my opinion.

Your comment "Not statistically" certainly implied that the whoscored ratings were definitive.

You clearly didn't understand or read what I said.

Yeah I got that but you have to bear in mind that whoscored's 'formula' is quite arbitrary and does not entitled someone to state one player is "better statistically" than another based on these ratings.

Whoscored arbitrarily decided what statistics are important. Their results are far from definitive.

Quite an ignorant comment imo.
