[Football] Top Premier League players

[Questions]

Since it’s start in 92 or whenever which players would you consider a shoe in for a top representative team throughout those years. I reckon Van Dyke and De Broyne from the current crop.
What does the panel think ?

 

[Guinness Boy]

Anyone 'Arry Redknapp has referred to as a top, top player.

 

[Seasider78]

Henry, Bergkamp and Ronaldo for me

 

[Weststander]

David Silva
VVD
Luis Suarez
Ashley Cole
Kompany
Drogba
C.Ronaldo

 

[vagabond]

Shearer, Le Tissier, Cantona, Rio Ferdinand, Henry, Keane, Scholes, Van Dijk. Peter Schmeichel, Gerrard, Zola, Ronaldo.

Off the top of my head.

 

[Questions]

We’ll put a team together when the candidates all come in...... Sol Campbell maybe ?

We’ll play 4-4-2 to keep it simple.

P Schmeichel & Seaman GK's - none of current crop comes close.

Stam, Terry probably best centre halves... until Virgil who is probably going to be the GOAT, if he's not already.

Can't beat late 90's and 00's for strikers - Bergkamp, Henry, Cantona, Owen, Anelka, Shearer, Sheringham, Zola, Van Nistelrooy, etc! Again, none of the current crop comes close.

De Bruyne is brilliant. Could be one of the GOAT's. Lot of competition in midfield though - from Lampard, to Hazard, to Scholes and of course Ronaldo. Has more to prove yet.

Out of the current crop, notable mention for Kante who is a worldie DM.

edit: and Salah... think he will go down as one of the GOATs.

Surely Rio was better than Stam or Terry? The best defender at the '02 World Cup.

Schmeichel

None of them as good as Vidic though

Best Prem XI for me would be

Cech
Neville - Vidic - VVD - Cole
Lampard - Makelele - Scholes
Ronaldo Shearer - Henry​

 

[Swansman]

Magnus Hedman

Roland Nilsson, Olof Mellberg, Victor Lindelöf-Nilsson, Erik Edman

Anders Limpar, Anders Svensson, Stefan Schwarz, Fredrik Ljungberg

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Henrik Larsson

Easy.

 

[Mackenzie]

Paolo Di Canio

 

[Mayonaise]

I would have the unsung Ngolo Kante in there somewhere.... premier league winner with two different clubs

Not ahead of Makalele though.

Young Rooney, before the beer and injuries took their toll.

 

[Silverhatch]

Dennis Bergkamp is by far the best footballer I’ve ever seen live, and he was doing it while the opposing players could still try and cut you in half. And the weird/mad thing is, Vicente was the closest I’ve ever seen (live) to Bergkamp despite him being in the Championship (sublime touch and unparalleled protector of the football).
