Figo still. No explanation needed after his performance against Holland in the Euro Cup semis.

Personally, i would say Vicente of valencia. The kid has the complete package. Vision, crossing, dribbling, shooting.

As much as i like Vicente, really, he doesn't possess the dribbling skill of players like Figo, Ronaldo, or Joaquin. This causes him to suffer greatly when he has a tight marker shadowing him. However, his pinpoint crossing ability is no less than that of Beckham's, and his positioning around the box is somewhat akin to Freddy Ljungberg's. I would love to think that his dribbling can still be improved and he can mature to become a great winger, but at the moment it's hard to say who's the best.

I reckon Damian Duff is pretty special. There is a young boy at Rangers called Chris Burke how could be special as well. Juve have been scouting him. They better stay away! He is far from the finished article yet. But watch this space!

Zambrotta is a left back, not a right winger.

The Tin Man! Former Gers and Sevilla ace, guaranteed to beat six players then fall over!

Zambrotta used to play right wing for Juve but Lippi switched him to left back last year. Zambrotta can play either position if asked to. But to answer the question I would say Nedved is the best winger in the world when he plays there. At Juve he plays all over the field though.

Robert Pires when he plays his best.

Left I would have to go with Pires...he does everything! 19 goals last season! 19!!!!!!!!!!!
As for the right wing, I'll go with Deisler. When he is fully fit he is up there with the best in the world.

Chelsea have the two best left-wingers in the world, Robben and Duff.

I haven't had a chance to watch Robben. But I am curious as to what kind of player he is and what he is good at. Can anybody tell me?

Robben is very quick down the field and has great positioning. He has a great nack for where the strikers are so when he passes the ball in it always finds the strikers. He is very mature and professional for his age as well.

Left side: probably Duff, Griggs or Pires.
Right side: Figo.
