Who has been your best player so far this season and why?

I think it has to be James Rodriguez.

His performances have been absolutely stunning since donning the royal blue shirt for the first time with 3 goals and 3 assists in 5 Premier League matches. He has an absolute wand of a left peg and picks out some of the most outrageous passes I’ve ever seen.

He’s already made his name as one of the best creators, if not players overall, in the league at the moment, and Southampton are mighty lucky that he is set to miss out on Sunday.

When you consider the fact he moved from Madrid to Merseyside on a free, he quite simply is the signing of the season in the Premier League.
