Is Dwight Gale the best player in the world currently?

Fescue · 27-05-2014 02:10PM

I wouldn't be quite as well versed as many of the posters in here but yes, I think he is.

kfallon · 27-05-2014 02:12PM

Just ask yourself, 'Who is better than him?'

There you go, question answered......

eagle eye · 27-05-2014 02:19PM

I just checked and he hasn't done it at Stoke so I'm afraid he isn't just good enough just yet.

Also if he wants to go down as the GOAT he will have to win a world cup with his country.

His dad Marcus was better.

LuckyLloyd · 27-05-2014 02:20PM

lol at anyone who doubts it

mike65 · 27-05-2014 02:21PM

Frankly I prefer Crystal Gayle up front, actually is she his mother?

Richard Hillman · 27-05-2014 02:22PM

Hasn't done much of note over the last 2 weeks. His form has dipped.

He's like a young Chris Armstrong

In all seriousness, it's funny to think about how huge a spectrum of talent there is in football.

When Gayle was with Stansted in the 9th tier of football (as per the video) his teammates were way way better than I ever was or ever will be. Indeed, even the really good players you knew as a kid were seldom much better than that standard and they were amazing to you at the time.
But he was in a whole different league to them.

And it seemed like it continued all the way up through the divisions in a similar fashion until he landed in the PL.

It's interesting how a ludicrously talented player (he mightn't be Messi but he's still probably in the top 0.0001% of footballers in the world) can emerge from such relative mediocrity.

Yes my friend. Whiskey and Tobacco sandwiches. Very good for you.

Is it true that Palace paid around £8m for him? Madness if true.

I wouldn't be surprised, Dagenham & Redbridge got around £1m of the transfer fee that Palace paid for him

Exactly. They paid basically nothing for the best player in the world. Madness indeed.

Turtyturd · 27-05-2014 04:12PM

Did you see Dwight Gayle celebrating his penalty in the CL final after he singlehandedly won it??.... Neither did I, best player in the world, ask me.....
