Zatman Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 If its non Villa players then its definitely David Silva, an absolute genius and changed how midfielders are signed in England. Teams are no longer looking for just powerhouse centre midfielders Probably Man City greatest ever player as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Ronaldo left just when he was approaching his peak otherwise he'd obviously also be a candidate. yeah I have a problem with Ronaldo in the PL in that he was obviously good, he won the league, CL, ballon dor but he then went up another couple of gears at madrid, he went best in the world conversation to best player ever conversation at madrid, I also think that it was still his formative years at utd, he wasn't world class for all of them so when you factor those 2 things in (plus that he was a utd player) im close to saying in the context of him being considered for best ever in the PL (sky had him as 2nd behind henry) I think he's almost a bit overrated... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Platt Posted April 14, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted April 14, 2020 Early days Cantona was amazing. Bergkamp for longevity. Henry was my favourite. Mellberg for Villa. I am not counting Irish players as foreign! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Schmeichel should probably be mentioned, but keepers rarely win. FWIW I'd probably say Ronaldo, Henry or Vieira, but I always loved watching Bergkamp. He just had that little extra. And Okacha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) based on the number of polls that are doing the rounds on social media at the moment im under the impression that a fair few city fans consider Toure as the best they've had, in the conversation with scholes, gerrard and lampard I really don't see it personally, good player but I never found him that special or magical like silva (I put aguero in that pigeon hole too...great player but I get no real joy from watching him play) Edited April 15, 2020 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
