Name a footballer and discuss
We all like a number of players more than others, it is human nature to try and convince people to like what you like,
this thread is not about that.
Name a player you know off, and ask the forum to discuss the different attributes of the player.
The Rules:
You post a footballer name. The footballer gets discussed in 5 posts, then we move on to another footballer.
You can discuss anything about the footballing attributes of the player.
Please have fun, I will start this thread now.
Okay, here goes;
Serginho, Brazil, Milan
Discuss
It helps to assign tiers to the footballers: here is a rough guidline;
(the coma is an OR)
Tier L; legends of the game who define football for fans all around the world, and have the talent to show for it.
Tier 1; Team legends, national team legends, great players who achieved a lot, redefiner of the game.
Tier 2; great but for a short time, consistent for a long time, great at one thing and then some, loyal, only national team good
Tier 3; great squad players, more than mediocre, shined for a bit but faded away, consistent if not spectacular.
Tier 4; average players, one year wonders, solid but meh, runs around a lot
Tier 5; overrated, below average, perennial flop
Tier 6; mid table team at best, major flop
Tier 17; how in earth did any one give you a contract
Tier B; Bonera

Re: Name a footballer and discuss
For a player who started playing European football at 28, Il Concorde adapted surprisingly fast.
Renowned for his speed and stamina, Serginho was a solid if unspectacular left back. Most always used as a sub, a fun fact is that he was used as the first sub for most of his first 4 seasons.
It still surprises me why Carlo Ancellotti decided to trust him with one of the spot kicks in the final of the 2005 CL. A spot kick he missed.

I'll start then. Best player, but his short. Keep's doing what his doing and he will be the best player in history.
Oh, and CR7. Welcome Xabi.

Re: Name a footballer and discuss
adebayor... wonder if they tied his feet up and taught him to play football only with his head when he was young. Seems like a nice guy (at least with Madrid). Absolutely horrific finisher with his feet. There's telegraphing a shot and then there's adebayoring it.

Re: Name a footballer and discuss
Before we get started id like to discuss somethings regarding it........
I get to provide the entertainment
yay lol....
As for the thread do you think we should provide youtube complilation/highlights with the player in question just in case people are unaware of what the player we are discussing was/is like.
And people actually keep to the 5 posts on 1 player rule please![Smile](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif)

Re: Name a footballer and discuss
back to topic;
we are currently discussing Messi, with 1 post already written by ynwa
Messi is certainly out of this world, but the gulf in class between top teams is enhancing his rep.
Keep the posts coming lads
