Also Gazza played for numerous clubs, Shearer left to join a clubs that at the time was fully expected to win things, and in one case did. Le Tissier was often accused of having no ambition by staying at Southampton. Drinkwater was never the best midfielder in the country like Kane has been the best striker. Kante going is one thing, he undoubtedly had the talent to play for any top team. Drinkwater joining Chelsea when they already had a midfield stacked with quality was just daft. Shearer won one trophy in his entire career with Blackburn all be it the big one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 5 February 2023 Share Posted 5 February 2023 10 minutes ago, Facecloth said: Not winning them certainly defines a player. Still waiting for you to name a single top player, one considered potentially world class who has won nothing at all. I'm not saying Kane isn't good, I'm saying he'll regret not winning anything. Records come and go, winning trophies doesn't. Kane could end his career as the greatest player to win nothing, its not a accolade I'd want. This article lists the 6 best players (other than Kane) never to win a trophy. Out of those I would say maybe only Socrates might be considered as being 'world class' at their peak. https://www.footballtransfers.com/en/transfer-news/2021/08/kane-six-best-players-never-win-trophy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no real top quality players who've won nothing. He would be a stand out, that's for sure. Someone likened Totti to him the other week because he stayed at Roma. A club where he won the serie a title and 2 Italian cups. Edited 5 February 2023 by Facecloth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Fox Posted 5 February 2023 Author Share Posted 5 February 2023 Leeds look dead, haven’t won since the restart, got Man Utd home and away in their next two and really don’t look like winning a game. They have some decent players, but Marsch just appears so far out of depth it’s unbelievable. Fingers crossed they keep him on for the rest of the season, because if they do they go down with Southampton and Bournemouth. It’s no coincidence that those three teams easily have the three worst managers in the league, now Lampard has been replaced at Everton. There’s not a lot of difference in quality in the bottom 12 in the league, other than the quality of manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fear Of The Fox Posted 5 February 2023 Share Posted 5 February 2023 Self entitled people that earn thousands of pounds per day make ridiculous excuses while millions are struggling with every day life.

jayfox26 Posted 5 February 2023 Share Posted 5 February 2023 Further adding to my point yesterday that I honestly think most football fans can't stand the managers but appreciate when they are doing well. Cant for the life of me think why anyone could actually like Pep or Klopp, they are both utter bell ends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
