Players that are too good for their team

[Jamo Martinez]

I imagine a lot of this thread is based on Football Manager/Fifa stats.

You're probably right mate, though, personally I've never played either

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Cabya, Ben Arfa, Ba and at a push collocini (still think he's gash) and krul

**** club and if you take those players out that is a mid table championship squad

No ****! If you take away a club's five best players they'll be nowhere near as good.

 

[mawders]

remember when Boro sign Ravanelli and then a bit later Mendieta

That's like saying take away Fellaini, Jelavic, Baines, Mirallas and Jagielka away from our team. It's like taking the basis of our team out, and if you took them out of our team ours would be a very average team

we would still be left with better than ameobi, williamson, perch, steven taylor et al. obviously most teams would struggle, but look at the rest of the squad and that team would probably be mid table in the championship, there is a massive gap between those 5 and the rest of the squad

Lol yes, Anichebe, Naismith, Neville at LB...

Definitely better...

 

[somuchfun]

Zlatan.

 

[Julian Carax]

Zlatan.

For every team he's played for minus Barca, nah you know what especially Barca no one is good enough for Zlatan.

We'd be relegation fodder, so whilst still better than them not that much better

So what that would leave us with

Howard
Coleman Heitinga Distin Oviedo
Barkley Gibson Osman Pienaar
Naismith
Anichebe​

Mucha, Duffy, Hitzl, Vellios, Gueye, Neville and Hibbert on the bench. That's a solid mid table team I think.
