The Premiership's Greatest Foreign Players?

[Hoggy]

We're comparing a goalkeeper and striker, to a midfielder who had more skill then you, me and anyone else for that matter.

kev your name is an even worse shout than okocha

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

A few flicks and skills? it was nearly every match he did some superb skills and tricks, once again I repeat COMPARING A STRIKER AND MIDFIELDER!

Kev, skills and tricks don't win things?

Lee bloody Trundle is probably more skillsfull than half of the names in this thread, doesn't mean he's a better player does it?

 

[Basil Fawlty]

you said that okocha was the GREATEST foreign player EVER to grace the premiership


there is a reason why cantona won more trophies than okocha and that is because he is BETTER

there is a reason why cantona was MAN UNITEDS best player for several seasons, whereas the best okocha could attract was BOLTON, and that is because he was BETTER



okocha was SHIT compared to many, many players to have come here, i doubt he would make the top TEN

we're comparing a striker to a midfielder here.

No they don't win things, just shows how good the man was with the ball at his feet.

 

[Hoggy]

its not about comparisons, its about who is the best player in their postion, obviously schmeichel is not a better midfielder than okocha, but schmiechel is a better goalkeeper than okocha is a midfielder

STOP SAYING THAT!!!!

the question wasn't "who is the greatest midfielder" was it?

it was greatest PLAYER...cantona is about a MILLION times better than okocha

please, PLEASE see that

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

I'm not saying it doesnt....but a man who was good with the ball at his feet isn't neccessarily the best foreign players?

right...kevin answer me this...


if okocha was THAT good, then why has he only ever played for:

frankfurt
fenerbahce
psg
and
BOLTON



surely if he was better than the likes of cantona, zola, gullit etc , then all of the worlds SUPERPOWERS would be after him?

cantona played not only for the greatest PREMIERSHIP side he also came to England into a very good Leeds side!

 

[Redhead]

How is anyone arguing Okocha is better than Cantona. Okocha didnt stand out in a Bolton side that contained Nicky Hunt FFS.

 

[Hoggy]

No they don't win things, just shows how good the man was with the ball at his feet.

that does not make him better than Cantona, or many of the other players on this thread,

another reality check

who would you rather have in your team? Cantona or Okocha

Who is worth more? Cantona or Okocha

Get it into your skull

In fairness, to repeat the same ridiculous argument for about 4 pages is quite an achievment itself
