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?

Ashley Cole looks completely out of place there.

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.

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. :glare:

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

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?

:angry: - 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!
