    Saw someone of the opinion that United have three of the PL's top five with their acquisition of Mata, and couldn't imagine who they could possibly have left out. Interested to know what everyone here reckons.

    in order, IMO:

    Luis Suarez
    Day Light
    Sergio Aguero
    Mesut Ozil
    Juan Mata
    Yaya Toure

    Feels a bit harsh on RVP & Rooney but I couldn't justify them over any of the above. Eden Hazard could come in for Toure on another day, I guess. David Silva and perhaps Vincent Kompany can feel a bit hard done by too.

    Suarez is the best but there isn't daylight between him and Aguero

    Don't think you can justify leaving out Hazard on current form. I'd straight swap him in for Mata.

    I'd definitely have RVP over Mata. When Mata was good RVP was even better, and this season when RVP hasn't been great Mata's been even worse.

    I think I'd take Negredo over Ozil. He's just been so, so much better this season. There's an argument for Silva too.

    Using the logic in your first sentence, surely the change to Eds's list you'd make is just Negredo in for Mata then?

    Well RVP over Ozil too, obviously. Because he's far better.

    Yeh this, one just stands out less because he's in an awesome side.

    Even if so, Özil's better than Negredo. You can't argue one on form and one on class.

    Suarez isn't even the best striker in the Premier League, so the idea that there's daylight between Suarez and any other player in the league is ridiculous.

    Haha, love how GF uses "striker" to make it sound worse when realistically it's between him and Aguero and no-one else for best player anyway and they're both strikers.

    He's also wrong though. Shit post really.

    No he isn't. Aguero is.

    I've no problem with anyone rating them that way tbf. But for me Suarez is better.

    On what basis?

    Isn't it just a case of Agureo being the better striker, Suarez the better overall footballer?

    Aguero does it against the big teams and has done it at Champions League level. Suarez hasn't.

    Aguero's been better for longer as well.

    So why is it Suarez scores so many more against the mid-table teams than Aguero?

    As an out-and-out finisher, Aguero is probably one of the best in the world, and definitely the best in the league. But Suarez offers so much more, for me.

    EDIT: Beaten by Ritchie really. Although Suarez has been the better goalscorer and player this year...

    As someone who loathes Suarez and likes Aguero, imo Suarez is the better player.

    Impossible for me to make a list though really, because it's so hard to rate a midfielder against an attacker or a defender and vice versa.

    Suarez
    Aguero
    Hazard
    Ozil
    Kompany

    Not much between any of them really though.
