Eboue, I'd accept that right now Fabregas is the better player but football can be emotional and on that basis I wouldn't swap.
Some could make the argument that Shearer was a better player than Fowler. I know I'm flying against the wind but I'd still never have swapped them either. Regarding these I'd also add that Cesc is 5 years older and his lack of pace can make him a bit of a liability defensively while little Phil has bags of potential to develop further. |

out of players i'd want at Liverpool.... 1. Coutinho, 2. Di Maria, 3. Silva, 4. Erikson, 5. Fabregas, 6. Cazorla.... Not sure what Fabregas does to be higher than the rest of them... other than "he played for Barcelona"

Fabregas has been one of the outstanding midfielders in Europe in the last decade. Coutinho is an outstanding young talent but when Fabregas was Coutinho's age he was bossing games in the champions league for goodness sake.
When Coutinho is creating, scoring and running games against Europes elite then we have a comparison. Silva Fabregas are miles ahead of the rest for me. |

tbh greizman p1sses on all of those....

By:
No he doesn't.
|
|
By:
yes he does
|
|
By:
course he does.
he can be used in a pressing system unike some attacking mids who are too luxury to actually help the system. he can play wide or in the hole or even up top...decent in the air too. he is so versatile its untrue. |

I think they're all better footballers than Eriksen, in some cases by streets, but it would be hard to argue that Eriksen hasn't made the most difference for his team this season. Four late winning goals, two goals in a Cup semi-final and some beautiful free kicks.
FWIW Silva is the best, closely followed by Fabregas. I agree with the Liverpool fans that Coutinho is a fantastic player already and has the potential to be better than any of them, but potential is all it is right now. |

Have to say I really don't get this adulation for Coutinho.
I liked him at Inter until he lost his way and let's not forget the "future of Inter" was let go for less than 9 million. He's had some decent performances for Liverpool but last season the main threats in that team were Suarez, Sturridge and Sterling and this season it's been Sterling. When Chelsea come up against Liverpool there are some players I'm happy to see missing from their side. Coutinho really isn't one of them. The potential to be better than all of them? I don't see that at all. As for the guy who's not sure what Fabregas does to be higher than the rest of them ![]() |

Jed and marcce are talking sense.
And as for G1 jockey - at the start of last season you put paulinho in your BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD eleven. So anything you say has to be taken with extreme caution. |

By:
Don't forget the "future best centre-back in world football" Sebastian Coates, and the best midfielder ever Lucas Leiva.
Paulinho LMFAO |

I think mr eboue must be winding us up CR7, only a certifiable halfwit would have Paulinho within half a mile of any football team.
|
|
By:
No honestly it happened. In his first half a dozen games Paulinho actually looked like a half decent footballer and scored a couple of goals. Obviously this elevated him to global superstardom.

Carzola Ericsson Di Maria Silva Fabrigas Think Maria is unlucky to be playing with such c rap around him and Ericsson could be best by end year.! |

shocking list jermaine...REPORTED

on this season
fabregas silva eriksen di maria coutinho cazorla maybe even eriksen above silva |
|
By:
Silva was out for a while this season but as a player he's above Eriksen imho
of those players I'd probably have it like this : 1. Silva 2. Fabregas 3. Di Maria 4. Eriksen 5. Cazorla 6. Coutinho |
|
By:
if I was rating them overall id have the same list as u with 5 and 6 swapped

By:
Fabregas is the worst.

It's all relative because in 3 years Coutinho and Eriksen will be miles clear of the rest .

1.greizman
2.coutinio. the rest nowhere how much did di maria cost btw especially as greizman was better than him last season???? oh and better than sanchez |

already had to out one halfwit who wrote lucas off after returning from a 2 month layoff last season. he returns this season and completely changes our predicatment. coates done his acl and is still trying to get gametime to re build his career.... |
|
By:
Where the hell did Greizmann come into this? And if you think coutinho is currently a better player than Fabregas or Silva you need serious help.

Marcce. Have to say I disagree with your post completely, but then I would, wouldn't I
![]() His time at Inter is largely irrelevant as he was almost exclusively played out wide, and anyone can see he isn't a winger. I didn't understand your slightly derisory tone in making the point about 'the future of Inter being let go for £8m'. So because he didn't go for big money, he mustn't be any good? He was very young, was nothing more than a potentially good player and Inter decided to cash in. This has no bearing on how good he is or isn't now IMO and there are literally countless examples of players who have been let go for small sums but proved top players. And not all teams are like Chelsea and can afford to buy £30m players every time they need one. The fact Bayern offered €30m for him this summer gives you a good idea of how he is rated IMO. To suggest he wasn't instrumental in last season is plain wrong.... He was creating a lot of the chances for Suarez, Sturridge and Sterling. In fact, here is an interesting stat for you. @WhoScored: Philippe Coutinho: Since joining Liverpool in Jan 2013, no player has created more clear-cut chances in the PL than @Phil_Coutinho (27) #lfc. That's in the whole division. Not bad for a lad with no end product. Ask Kolo Toure. He's seen a few top players in his time.... And in an interview last season, while Suarez was still at the club, he said he had no doubt PC was Liverpool's best player. I'm also surprised as I'm not sure you can have watched the first leg of the Capital One Cup... As from my seat, he was head and shoulders the best outfield player on the pitch. Anyway, lest see how he develops... I am confident which way he will go, and I look forward to more people starting to realise just how good he is. |
