Terrible list. Best midfielder in the world misses out, but there's space for Anelka, Giggs, Scholes, Beckham(??????) Terry, Chicharito and Gerrard. Nasri is nothing like Datsyuk either, mainly because you are then comparing stuttering Arsenal to the great Detroit Red Wings.
Actuallu as a life long Wings fan and a massive hockey fan, the Nasri-Datsyuk comparison is quite clever, and I can definitely see it. However to fulfill that, Arsenal needs to win a few things...
Did I not say I might have left a few out? Messi,Ronaldo,Xavi,Ramos....... I put scholes and giggs in there because I'm a man u fan. I mean, what am I supposed to do? And admit it giggs was and is a legend at the midfield. You deny that he isn't up there. Nasri is creative right? Datsyuk is extremely creative and talented right? So that's where my comparison came from.
There are many creative players in the league. Messi, Ronaldo and Xavi do not play in the Premiership... and Ramos isn't a top player. Giggs really isn't good enough for the top 10, or even in the top group of Premiership players, he has lost the tools that made him great back in the day, and just has a nice cross and a bit of creativity. At least you admit you only included Scholes and Giggs because you wanted to be biased.
Sometimes it happends that quickly. Tbh he wasn't average he'd always been lauded as one of the best young players in the country, now he's producing on that promise. He might've been at Spurs for almost 4 years, but you've got to remember he's still only 21.
I understand that when a club has a young player tearing sides apart, their fans will want to champion that player as highly as possible. Hell, I did it with Ronaldo. My only issue with Bale is the insane media hype surrounding him. It's so OTT it makes me sick.
After hearing what Andy Gray has to say, I can safely say that Gareth Bale is the best footballer ever to have lived. /Generic comments about Inter and Maicon - They're European Champions you know?
I used to rate Gerrard as one of the best midfielders, but can we still include him in a top 10? Same for Lampard, they seem to be in the descending curve...
The same can be said of Drogba. He's had a poor season (albiet interupted by malaria) and finished poorly. Players who finished strongly are Van Persie, Rooney, Hernandez, Modric, Adam, Toure, Tevez and Kompany.
I am assuming you are referring to this season, so how can you seriously put Fabregas over van persie or wilshire??
