Name: Ibrahim Afellay
DOB: April 2, 1986 (23)
Height: 1.80 m
Playing Position:Attacking Midfielder
Nationality: Dutch
Current Club: PSV Eindhoven

A classy player. I would say he's somewhere in between Sneijder and Kaka, he's a fast runner with the ball , play-maker , and capable of shooting with either foot with accuracy and strength .His dribbiling skills are excellent, and although he prefers playing through the middle is known to drift to either wing...

To the 2000+readers of my blog- thank you.

To the ones waiting for the finish - sorry.

I've been extremely busy, I'll try to finish it as soon as possible.


Hope the final 10 players will meet your standards.


Random note : How about Marseille ? I think they have one of the better squads in club football, a team I'll closely watch.

Enjoy your summers and take it easy !

Name: Giampaolo Pazzini
DOB: August 2, 1984 (24)
Height: 1.80 m
Playing Position:Striker
Nationality: Italian
Current Club: Sampdoria

I always thought of Pazzini as a rather average striker-in the mold of the forward that was supposedly going to "ruin his career". Gilardino.

Pazzini moved to Sampdoria after he was considered dead weight by the Fiorentina staff. A move they were soon to regret..

DOB: September 5, 1988 (20)
Height: 1.80 m
Playing Position: Midfielder
Nationality: Turkish
Current Club: Borussia Dortmund

I asked Bigsoccer's greatest Borussia Dortmund fan( Cris 09)about Nuri, I asked him if he resembled Pirlo in his playing style .. those were his thoughts:

Name: Jérémy Toulalan
DOB: September 10, 1983 (25)
Height: 1.83 m
Playing Position: Defensive Midfielder
Nationality: French
Current Club: Lyon

There is really not much to say about Jérémy Toulalan . He keeps it simple and tidy , breaks up play, distributes the ball in an effortless manner , he just doesn't cause much fuss letting his other teammates get the spotlight, and I love him for it .

Name: Maximiliano "Maxi" Rodríguez
DOB: January 2, 1981 (28)
Height: 1.78 m
Playing Position: Winger
Nationality: Argentine
Current Club: Atlético de Madrid

The ever-consistent Atlético de Madrid captain is comparable to Stankovic ( Inter) he scores goals, he's consistent and he tracks back . A move to Italy is on the cards all of Fiorentina , Roma and Lazio will be battling for his signature.I personally think he would fit with any squad in the world, great player.

Name:Álvaro Negredo Sánchez
DOB: August 20,1985 (23)
Height: 1.86 m
Playing position: Striker
Nationality: Spanish
Current club:Almeria

I rate him very highly, unfortunately I don't see a future for him in the white house ( Real Madrid), Raul , Higuain , Huntelaar and maybe even Nistelrooy ( if he stays) will be on top of the food chain. Liverpool were interested in him a few months back, I hope I'm wrong..... I want Negredo back where he belongs ( a buy-back option is...

Name:Dirk Marcellis
DOB: April 13, 1988 (21)
Height: 1.81 m
Playing position: Central Defender;RB
Nationality : Dutch
Current club:PSV Eindhoven

The buck-toothed star is a " no nonsense" defender ; he's a rare breed in today's game, he sticks to his man and makes sure he's uncomfortable , tough and old-school, the press and public often compare him to Jaap Stam.

Name:Jonás Manuel Gutiérrez
DOB: 5 July, 1982 (26)
Height: 1.85 m
Playing position: Winger
Nationality : Argentine
Current club:Newcastle United

With Newcastle down to the Championship, surely "Spiderman"(he celebrated a goal by putting on a spiderman mask during his time at Real Mallorca)will have many suitors trying to sign him up for a bargain; Chelsea would do well signing this strong , talented winger.

This took along while compiling; " the 50 most talented players that are slightly held back by their less talented teammates, players that would explode on the international scene if they moved to the most suitable top club that would fare proficiently with their talents" would make a more accurate title for the blog, I think mine is easier on the eyes though.

You'll realize that very talented players like : Hernanes , Keirrison, Neymar and Douglas Costa are not mentioned, the only reason for that is because I haven't seen enough of them to make an honest and fair judgment...
