From Adel Tarrabt to Michu, there have been some unbelievable streets will never forget ballers over the years. Who takes the crown?

Don't know about best, but Mousa Dembele would be the submission from Spurs in the last several years. Everyone from that stacked Belgium squad from 2016-2018 or so seemed to all feel that Dembele was the best player they'd played alongside.

If only he could pass or shoot the ball as well as he did everything else.

He gets tons of praise from his teammates because I'm sure he bossed them in short sided games and other training drills. But yeah, the end product was often lacking in actual matches.

Which is why the team was basically built around him. He’d win the ball back, beat the press, then hand it off to Eriksen who would orchestrate the attack.

Yeah in a way he was a nice emblem of those late 2010s Spurs teams - awesome to watch 90% of the time but always a bit lacking in the finish.

If he had an eye for an incisive final ball he'd probably have been playing for Madrid.
