@davwhu@ConnorWHU_ Fair enough I thought it was top 50. Also I get what you’re saying but you didn’t win anything, neither did he, unless I’m mistaken? It’s all done on accolades and awards.
@Hedghog111 Palmer got the same accolades, minus afcon last season and finished 8th in the ballon dor ? I’m also not saying he should win or be remotely close to that obviously, but a top 50 ranking seems more than fair ?
What genuinely stops him from being ranked in the ballon dor, he obviously won’t win it or be top 10 but: UECL winner, UECL top goal scorer, UECL POTS, 21 goals this season all comps, Afcon winner if you don’t count the politics after, Palace top scorer, palace POTS?
@JakHinton Yeah I get what you mean, but people forget we still played: Shaktar, AZ alkmaar, Fiorentina, dinamo kyiv, Strasbourg and that Rayo team in the final who finished 8th in La liga. I think people underestimate their qualities. Entitled to your opinion of course though.
@JakHinton Yeah of course you’re entitled to your opinion. It will be interesting if your opinion changes after your Europa league campaign next season though. I just think people don’t realise how much the Thursday/Sunday games actually takes its toll on the squads.
@JakHinton It’s a funny one though isn’t it, ballon dor is accolades based, I feel UECL winner, top scorer & player of the tournament are bigger than people claim to be, palmer came 8th last year with the same, just not top scorer if I’m right. Sarr has Afcon too, I think Top 50 is possible
@bhafcriley I think he’ll stay because he isn’t exactly pleasing on the eye so we’ll keep hold of him longer as a result, but his output is insane. You’re of course completely entitled to your opinion too, i just think he could sneak 40th-50th with a semi decent World Cup that’s all.
@Brighton_BHA And that’s fair enough you’re entitled to your opinion. I just don’t think it’s as outrageous as some people have said, it’s definitely plausible that he does.
