Smartest has to be Phil Jones, getting himself a bumper new contract while lying on the treatment table. Genius

I don't even remember how he looks like

I know Lingard messes about a bit, but I'm not sure he's stupid per se. From any interviews I've seen (which admittedly aren't in great supply), I don't think he's come across as particularly slow. Heard an interview with Sancho in the summer and he definitely didn't seem to be the brightest. Not that it really matters.

To be fair to Sancho he is still 21 so he is basically still in college if he were a regular dude.
What makes Lingard think his "Jlingz" brand will take off?

Shaw thought Brazil was in the USA when he went there for the WC.

I don't think Lingard comes across as thick, annoying maybe but I'd say he's probably smarter than most. Same with Pogba, I think he comes across quite eloquent but it seems enjoying having fun hair makes you stupid to some people. Matic I don't think is thick either, just quiet and unassuming.

I'd say pretty much the whole squad is smarter than the OP.

Aside from Steve Coppell and Graeme Le Saul, has any footballer ever registered an IQ score higher than fifty?

Le Saux read the Guardian which mean't he was clearly gay.

I'm not sure what the point of this is.

My only concern with them is that they show football intelligence on the pitch. Their general intelligence is of no concern to me.

One thing is nearly certain though in that they've all got higher in their chosen career than the vast majority of us here have.

Reminds me of that comedian who thought that Costa Rica was in Spain and didn't realise till she was boarding the flight

Patrick Bamford is a very smart guy.

Lampard was bright. Shola Ameobi. I think Saka is pretty bright too

This is what the debate should be about.

Didn't Jason McAteer once go up to Jimmy White and shout '180!'?

Mata has a couple degrees.

To be fair to him he's been really impressive at Rangers, doesn't hide from bad performances and seems to have an air of aithority
