Xhaka, Le Fee and Mukiele

In my lifetime, first match in 1978/79, you're only really comparing with Reidy's teams.

Kev Phillips best player I've seen in an SAFC shirt. Mukiele best player we have at the moment, absolute class who could slot into a top four team now and look very comfortable. Mukiele and Xhaka would get into Reidy's teams.

Le Fee: see the Le Fee thread, an insightful poster being followed around by a freak show.

And yet you mention it on this thread too to get more bites😂

Sess was great in his day, but didn’t have enough days imo

I think Enzo Le Fee could be the best. Our GOAT. Maybe there is only Raich Carter who could rival him.

Anybody disagree?

Le Fee in the right position with the players of similar quality around him is up there with Bernardo Silva very much alike hopefully he stays and we have a team good enough to let him be the player we have only had glimpse of,
imagine if he could just attack like Silva and didn’t spend most his game defending like he does for us.
What a beautiful footballer 👌

Fair but also played in some awful teams under some awful managers.

He would be obscene in this team like

This!

Outrageously good but played under and alongside absolute shite! The stick he got at times was crazy. You’d think he was Messi! How dare he not drag the other 10 with him every day.

In todays side he’d be our most dangerous player.

I don't think any of Reids teams barring Phillips for a couple of seasons and Schwarz in his pomp would have got into any champions league teams then or now.

You could argue Bould but he barely played and was on his way out same with helmer.

Currently I'd say

Roefs

Mukiele, Ballard, alderete, Reinildo

Le fee Xhaka Sadiki

Brobbey

All could play for top 4 sides, and this is only one season sample.. Others could step up next season.

Ask me again on 10 years to truly test your point.
A lot will be to do with how long they stay and how many seasons they sustain it.
If watching Shwarz was a joy and the leadership of Bould was critical then in Xhaka we have 2 in 1 …. Truly incredible player
Le Fee has been class on a very modern way .. a flair player with incredible tenacity and commitment.
… Nordi is a man mountain arguably the best all round defender on our history

Nyron 😂😂😂
He wasn’t even our best ever c’ship defender
How can you leave out Jonny Evans? The only decent signing Keane ever made, sadly à loan.
No mensah, yeah he was injured à lot but when fit he was immense, à 1 man back 4
Kone and kabul were instrumental in BSA great escape
Nyron was an honest player etc but jeez the expression 2 left feet applied to him
He was big and strong etc but a liability

I’m not taking about these players cementing their place in folklore with supporter’s (although I think they will/ have)

I’m talking about them being the best.

Had this conversation the other day with my mate. But being an elite striker in the PL has evolved so much. The role has changed in that it's not just about scoring goals anymore.

Gone are the days when teams were 1 dimensional and just trying to feed a striker with chances.

Brobbey has scored nowhere near the goals SKP did, but it could be argued that his impact hasn't been far off.

Not that I'm taking anything away from SKP like...as he was an outstanding player for us. Probably not far behind Xhaka.

Time will tell… and in time all players of the modern era I suspect will be playing second fiddle to SKP in the history books

I've mentioned it before but one of my favourite posts on here was when someone asked for Dean Whitehead song suggestions and someone posted,
To the tune of Kumbaya, my Lord

Take him off Keano,
Take him off
Take him off Keano,
Take him off,
Oh oh Keano,
Take the fucker off

It still tickles me to this day.
