Who'd the best winger in the premiership be?
I'd give Kewell (THAT goal vs. Arsenal), Pires, Dyer, Beckham (grudingly... great crosser/free-kicker, but that's it), Giggs (when on form) and one or two others I can think of right now honourable mentions, but in my opinion, the man is...
Damien Duff... I might be being a little bias because I'm Irish, and he's our best player since Ray Houghton (sans [Roy] Keane-O). He can make you go "but he... in, with the... umm... HE'S STILL GO THE BALL!?" (remember Ireland-Spain in the world cup?). He is blisteringly quick, he can give in really good crosses, he has developed is finishing and has something like 10 goals in 8 games for Blackburn, his defensive work isn't spectacular by any means, but it's stellar for an attacking winger, he's young, he has a great TEAM attitude, he is mentally tough (he's one of those players where you question if they actually know the magnitude of the match, at times), and has yet to choke big. Here's to seeing him alongside Roy Keane & John O'Shea at old Trafford next season.
