As an aside (and a homer), how was Chiesa left off that list?
You know, I originally typed a bantering sentence about him but decided to delete it. But since you brought it up...

Nah, I'll still stay quiet about it

Jorginho had a wonderful season, no doubt. I'm just not sure that it was he who contributed to a large share of the success of his club and national teams.

Chiesa is just a tad too inconsistent to be deemed top tier. 8 G + 8 A in ~2,200 minutes is very good but not great. But otherwise, I think he'd be on that short list in a few years. Also, he's still on the books of Fiorentina?
