Think Torres and Fabregas, amongst others, will finish the season much higher. Ashley Cole better than Maldini? I suppose Maldini is 39, still close though. Lampard better than Riquelme or Tevez?

Rooney, top 10?... That just about blows all credibility that list has.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

You wouldn't have bet on Diego Forlan appearing a few years ago

 

[We're the Stripes]

Ashley Cole looks completely out of place there.

 

[gjh1971]

Also in this months FourFourTwo, Brighton's player to watch this season is........

DOUG LOFT

They want you to watch his hair in the wind

 

[Horsham Gull]

Gully?

 

[Frutos]

I note that 4 of the top 10 (3 of the Top 5 in fact), all play for the same club.

Those 4 (even though apparently they won't all be playing at the same time according to Rijkaard), have to make up one of the best attacking lines ever, at least at club level.

 

[Ernest]

NEVER heard of any of THEM

 

[Simon Morgan]

Where is Gary Hart?

 

[elwheelio]

Rio Ferdinand 24th

Jamie Carragher 97th

spot on

 

[Common as Mook]

Ashley Cole looks completely out of place there.

Grantes he's a bit out of form at the moment. But I'll say it again, on his day he is the best left back in the WORLD.

*awaits flaming*

 

[Wozza]

I saw three of the top five play last weekend.

 

[Dover]

No 85 shocks me. How the hell is he in the top 1000 players in the world.

 

[Renns]

where is kerry mayo

 

[We're the Stripes]

Grantes he's a bit out of form at the moment. But I'll say it again, on his day he is the best left back in the WORLD.

*awaits flaming*

Believe it or not, I didn't actually see Rio and Terry just above him in the list.

But I still think they're all far too high up.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

These lists are bollocks frankly. How can you say who is a 'better' player between Cannavaro, Cech and Henry? Nonsense.

 

[Buzzer]

How about a top 10 for the most over-rated players.

Think I'll have Roberto Carlos in there. Ballack and Lampard too. Any thoughts for any others?

 

[Braders]

- seriously i watched the whole (nigh on ) of the Arsenal Invincable season and most the stuff pre and post that , even going to Highbury , watched him play for England and now at Chelsea and STILL don't see the worthiness of the hype surrounding him!
