Questions that shouldn't be asked shouldn't be answered



Brendan

It's so true its depressing

The PL has become soulless,  the players  dull and robotic,  and the  quality of football dire.

Is there  any player you  would pay in to watch now? I'm really  struggling to think of one

Yeah said this a while ago.

Bruno, Haaland, after that you're struggling. Odergaard when he's on form but that Arsenal team is horrible to watch. 

Mourne Red

Cherki and Haaland the only ones you'd say have that bit of freedom in their play. Outside of that it's a poor selection.

Tzolis from Arsenal looks good so far, but any attacker Arteta has had declines so I'm not hopeful for him.

Kroupi and your young fella Rayan for Bournemouth looked good last year but let's see if they continue this year.

Meant to mention him, entertaining player

New players same old Spurs. Their struggles continue. Better hope there's 3 worse teams than them again this season.

Just go through the top scorers list from 20 years ago and look at the players scoring lots of goals. The past few years it's usually been a big name in Haaland then a relatively unknown/average enough player like Toney, Tiago, Watkins or Wissa on the list with them.

Im not buying the Bruno nod there tbh.

Strikers in football is a global problem. Nearly every team has 1 up top now. Times have changed. The quality in that area has dropped.

Bruno is superb.

World wide theres a serious striker shortage. You've Haaland and Kane, after that where are we? (Obviously Mbappe/Dembele, but are they number 9's?).

Chelsea looking decent here. Alonso maybe knows what he's doing. They'll be dangerous this year with no European football.

I'd add Palmer to the list above of players who aren't dull robotic. Seems a bit of a free spirit.
