You'd have to find a bigger idiot than you to hire you. The Kop might be a candidate though :wink:

I meant stars still at the top of their game in the same team, so you could add Puyol and Xavi to Messi, Iniesta and Pique. You could also make a case for Valdes and I'd say Pedro is more than just above average.

Man United fans still point to Scholes, Giggs, Neville etc even though they are well past their prime.

it's a matter of interpretation of the original point
name me any team thats produced 5 superstar players from there youth in 1 go? it just doesnt happen. you will get some above average and maybe 1 superstar
to me, that means players produced within one generation of a youth team

also, Valdes and Neville are far from superstars

No, Lucas is average. Valdes is a pretty good 'keeper.

average is generous
Valdes is decent, but by no means is he a superstar

How many keepers can you name that are better than Valdes at the moment? I know he used to be a bit of a donkey but he's pretty much eliminated retarded mistakes out of his game and he's an excellent shot stopper.

He's a good keeper, You could argue either way, but i think he'd be the number 1 for most international sides.
