King was a special special player described by many of his fellow pros as a freak due to his lack of training yet still turning out the weekly performances that he did. Even Henry called him the best defender he played against as he never fouled him and always won the ball fairly….an absolute Rolls Royce of a player….
No, it means they achieved more. Achieving more and playing in better teams is not the measure of being a better player. This is entirely a subjective debate. So if you watched Terry and Rio and think they were better players, just say so. But don't ever come back on this forum ? I can see how you got your name.
No need to be condescending.
Yeah I acknowledge all that. Never said he wasn't good.
To be honest I can't remember (that Terry/Rio>King). But then I dont watch those games enough compared to Spur ones. Some of what King has done I would always remember, like that last ditch tackle when he ran all the way back.
Yeah, slightly condescending. But didn't agree with the son and Ledley comments
He may not be better, although there’s always an argument for….but I’d have a pound that both bale and modric would have in their team all day long..
They weren’t…….and didn’t even get close ……in my humble opinion…….
I understand. Given the replies I'm getting you are not alone.
why not? he is still world class and can win us matches. I am more confident that we will score if we bring on Bale instead of Bergwijn or Lucas
That team imo would easily get 100 points in the league. It would unplayable. Throw in eriksen as an option at 10 to help in midfieldBale would definitely be in my Spurs PL XI (that's how I justify it being in this thread)
Biggest controversy for me would be Toby and Verts in ahead of King. I just think they are better suited to this 3-4-3 formation. But look at the bench.... if allowed 5 subs I'd still have a problem working out who to put on.
Lloris
Romero---Alderweireld---Vertonghen
Walker-------Dembele---Modric------Ziege
Bale----Kane----Son
Subs: Robinson, Trippier, King, Rose, Carrick, Sandro, Ginola, Teddy, Berbatov, Klinsmann
I thought he was asked the question and basically just didn't rule it out. I'd say it's more likely than him coming back here, but then I certainly wouldn't rule out retirement if Wales don't qualify for the WC either.
