NOW we have a debate

I'll post names when I have time to think about it

[Ceremony]

Ryan Gauld

 

[Plato]

As always, it's impossible to have this conversation without the inevitable mention of Arteta so I'll do the honors this time round.

[Eco]

Di Canio if you are asking for all-time.

 

[East Coast Bias]

I'm only thinking current players, that's hard enough

Ander Herrera has never played for Spain's senior team. Laporte has not played for either France or Spain's senior teams.

There's probably quite a few more from Basque Country that haven't played for Spain.

 

[YNWA14]

Jorginho is probably up there off the top of my head.

 

[Cassano]

Steve Bruce

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

In terms of active players, Laporte is the first I think of. Was also going to say Dybala, but then realized he was capped a few weeks ago. Gabi is another one.

 

[ViD]

Mikel Arteta

 

[Deficient Mode]

Julian Weigl at the moment IMO. Could change.

Thank God.

I highly doubt anyone can name a better player than Laporte.

 

[Cassano]

What about Hector Bellerin?

What about Hector Bellerin?

Not even the best uncapped Spanish fullback...

The competition narrows a lot if you eliminate players who are just too young to have gotten a call up.

 

[Evilo]

Clearly, Laporte doesn't get selected because Koscielny is too good and never injured...
And clearly, one single coach in the world thinks he's a lesser player than Mangala or Perrin.

Which ones?

Bellerin has probably been the best RB in the EPL this season - although that could be explained with Ivanovic's bizarre drop in form and Zabaleta injured.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

I too am curious as to who the best uncapped Spanish fullback is (not doubting its existence, just not super familiar with La Liga). I love Hector Bellerin

 

[Luigi Habs]

How is Laporte not capped?

I think him and Varane should be the starting CBs for France.

Gaya.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Gaya.

Wait wait wait Gaya isn't capped?

 

[les Habs]

Thank God.

I highly doubt anyone can name a better player than Laporte.

I would say at present someone has already been named. Laporte still has a some proving to do.

What about Hector Bellerin?

Gaya.

Bellerin's a better shout actually when you consider who Spain's LB is. Gaya also is a player who has a lot of proving to do. Plenty more than Laporte too.

 

[eyetest is useless]

Julian Weigl at the moment IMO. Could change.

speaking of midfielders from the ruhr area... I think Weigl and Geis could be an interesting debate. Both will be capped eventually though

Wait wait wait Gaya isn't capped?

Spain has an abundance of good full backs. Alba, Azpilcueta, and Bernat have kept Gaya out. I also prefer Manquillo's talent to Bellerin's, but he's less proven.

But again, I don't think any of them are the best uncapped player.

Weigl is clearly a few rungs above Geis right now in his performances. I was vehemently opposed to Geis, and I don't think he'll ever be as good as Weigl is now. Of course, Schalke has some other very nice young uncapped players. That's the thing with national teams with an abundance of talent like Spain or Germany or Brazil.

Who did you have in mind?


I'd argue all players who have yet to be capped have some proving to do.
