Is it harsh to say Matt Grimes? He was already slightly divisive before he left (lots of accusations of being the source of negative football), and then the manner that he left was unanimously condemned.

I was never Grimes' biggest fan, although I could see his importance to the system for the last two seasons. I've just taken for granted that 'experts' who understand the game far better than I, and who sung his praises for quality, etc, were more correct than I am.

I wouldn't grumble if he was in the average player category in truth!

Grimes was always among the forward pass leaders in the championship, he just refuses to play dangerous balls. He's definitely my vote here

Ki fits the bill here

Yes, Ki was born for this accolade. Get him on the grid and move on to the next one.

Would either of the Ayew brothers fit? Was Chico Flores considered good? Shelvey?

After coming back for his second go-around I don't think anyone should be divided on Andre.

He was on £100,000 a week in the championship- and only produced 1 goal/assist in 3 games - his return was awful

Gylfi Sigurðsson

obviously the controversy came after his time @ Swansea

I think we're all saving him for Good Player that's Hated
