Many world class players have left the PL and flopped in the so called Farmers leagues.


Okay??? how does that correlate? It's about coming to the prem not leaving it. More world class players have flopped coming to the prem than have left it.


Err... it correlates because you're saying Lewa wouldn't do it in the PL based on others who have flopped... even though world-class players have left the PL which is meant to be the toughest league to go to the German, Spanish or Italian league and have flopped


Read back wise guy not once did i infer he wouldn't do well based on others who have flopped. I just said he wouldn't do it in the prem, not because of other players.

YOU are the one who mentioned other players. You keep saying "world-class" players but are yet to name a single ex prem flop.


Yes you're correct I may have jumped to a conclusion and I apologise for that, but why wouldn't he do it in the prem?

Also, Bale, Hazard, Michel Owen and Philippe Coutinho to name a few.


Are you joking? As a welsh man i'm shocked. Bale left spurs and won four champions league medals and scored one of the greatest UCL goals we've ever seen. And won the league twice.


No I'm not joking. Bale at Real Madrid was never had consistent performances throughout the season ,and while he did score some important goals, Bale was never crucial for Madrid's success. So having scored important goals and won trophies still doesn't hide the fact he never fulfilled his potential. So in my opinion he has flopped in a weaker league.


This is 100% the worst football take i've ever read and I no longer respect anything you have to say. If you consider a flop a man with 4 UCL, 2 League Titles, 81 Goals in 175 Appearances mostly players as a winger, scoring in both UCL and Copa finals in his first season at the club and then the following season winning the super cup and scoring in yet another final to win the club world cup then all i'd ever want to be is a flop.

Never filled his potential ffs you must've started watching football in the last 2 years to think GB was a flop.


Okay, yes Bale wasn't a flop he scored some incredible goals and without him Real Madrid wouldn't have won those trophies

Kyogo wrote Not to cause a shit storm your entitled to your opinion but the prem is not the best league in the world and calling any of the other league apart from the French league (Based on Top 5 leagues) a farmers league imho is narrow mindedness.

Looking at a bundesliga table for example, you can sit and call cologne farmers but they are no different from Brighton.

Fiorentina are no different from Crystal Palace.

The premier league top 6 is better than any other top 6 in the other leagues but the rest of the prem is pure boring to watch dross.

To say kane is the best striker in the world based on this mindset of league superiority is crazy.


P.s I know it's rich coming from me being a Scottish football supporter but that isn't the point, I know my league is 2 teams and 10 other teams of dogshit quality.


Prem will have teams like Leicester come out and win it like they did. All other leagues are pretty straight forward with winners other than the serie a and Turkish league. Even in the serie A it's usually a toss up between like 3 clubs. Bundesliga is just Bayern, Scotland is just rangers and Celtic. The prem is not boring at all.

I'm not here for the scotland is shit debate again but both sides to the story are valid. Whatever league you grew up watching you're going to say is the best league. I'm sure french football fans would say their league is the best when it's arguably a copy paste of the top 5 leagues.

2-3 dominant teams and then a few shock league wins from teams you wouldn't expect.

Bundesliga is literally Bayerns league, they've won the league 17 times in the last 25 years. It's not hard to be a trophy winner when you play for bayern.

Your Leicester point is valid but it doesn't hold much weight at all. It would be like empoli winning the Serie A, it shouldn't happen. In England it was a complete shock when they won the league but when was the last time there was a shock winner?

If you look from current winners back to 1994-1995 season (simply because Blackburn won it that year and it was a fair sample size):

Prem: 6 different winners (including leicester)
Bundesliga: 5 different winners
Serie A: 5 different winners

The same 3 teams win the prem all the time. Not that it doesn't happen in the leagues mentioned above but like I said it's a superiority complex about England having the best league in the world.

@Dan the Scottish league isn't up for debate tbf regardless of my feelings towards it, when it comes to world football I know that it's dogshit

Also i've never cared about who's the GOAT, i respect both players. But Messi in that game was basically non existent, missed a pen in the first leg and a shocking second leg display from him. Sad to see but PSG have had an absolute nightmare.

Evidently playing for Barcelona meant a lot to him. He's just picking up a wage playing for a team he doesn't really care about and it shows.
