Steve Bruce ahead of Gary Pallister is odd, they did the same thing but Pally did it better and for longer

Ince should be on there really, definitely ahead of Manu Petit

I know it's tough with the number of players and recency bias, but during N'Golo Kante's three golden seasons he was the best player I'd ever seen. 24th feels low, at least as much as being included in the Top 25 can. Suppose that's as much on his longevity (or lack thereof) as anything.

125 across three spells

First spell Juninho was pretty much the best I’ve seen. And you have to bear in mind, I say that having seen Andre against Everton.

Outside of Wolves players, Kante is probably my favourite Premier league player.

Feel like we need a DW sponsored best ever PL XI thread

Yeah I fully expected to see Ince.

Only Robbie Keane and Irwin that played for us on there.

I’ve just never before or since see a player be not just an extra man, but two extra men. Felt like the amount of ground he would cover shouldn’t have been possible.

This years FFP swizz from Chelsea is selling their women's team to their owner.

 

[Lupo]

Didn't Fulham try that under Al-Fayed?

 

[Tredman]

I'm sure he was very keen to have the women's team as his personal property.

I don't think I've ever seen a manager dive before. Pathetic from both of them

Okan was a fairly diminutive attacking midfielder, so plenty of experience of buying free kicks.

Notlob in 2004?

Kevin de Bruyne leaving Man City at the end of the season

A shadow of the player he was previously so no surprises there.
