Honey Honey Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Outside of the top 6 teams, which players of the remaining clubs are good enough to be playing for a top 4 champions league side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted June 11, 2017 Administrator Share Posted June 11, 2017 Michael Keane, apparently! You'd think players like Lukaku, Gueye, Mahrez (?), Ward-Prowse, Lanzini, Zaha (?), Butland, Pickford, Sigurdsson would all be able to play some part in a squad that competes in the Premier League and Champions League.

Lucas Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I'd only class it as players that would walk into a first XI of a top 4 team. The problem is that there are plenty of players that shine in a small team but don't make that same impression for a bigger team. Lukaku is obviously one. As is Virgil Van Dijk, hence why they are the two 'big' players likely to be signed up by a Top 4 team this summer. Aside from them, players who could walk into Top 4 teams IMO would be players like Ryan Bertrand, Rihad Mahrez, Jordan Pickford, Seamus Coleman, Michael Keane and possibly a left field choice here, but also Fernando Llorente. Oriel Romeu and Gylfi Sigurdsson have had great season's but I'm not sure if that's just because they can do it for a small club but not a big one.

Subscriber Dan+ Posted June 11, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted June 11, 2017 I do think Mahrez is good enough. In a more attacking, possession orientated side you'll see a different player to what you saw last year. Some of his touches, dribbling and through balls are top class. While he did often disappoint I think he missed Kante's presence, as did most of them. I pretty much entirely agree with Lucas' selection to be honest. Struggling to think of too many outside of those. Llorente's an interesting shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
