Interesting read this. Good to see Carragher get some recognition and Gerrard make the top 10.

 

Don't know how Lampard even makes the list, let alone top 20.

[Flanders]

Fuuny how some get in on reputation and Henry gets dropped to 12 on the back of not playing since March! Interesting to see he rates Tevez so highly, 8th.

[Guest hjohal]

My current Top 10 in no partricular order.

 

Kaka (Milan)

Ronaldinho (Barcelona)

Messi (Barcelona)

Ronaldo (Man Utd)

Henry (Barcelona)

Tevez (West Ham)

Gerrard (Liverpool)

Eto (Barcelona)

Drogba (Chelsea)

Van Nistelrooy (Real Madrid)

Fabregas should be in any top 10 list of footballers.

 

As good as Tevez is and will be, no way is he a top 10 player in the world.

Fabregas Top 10?!

Alonso wasn't even in this top 50 list, that is a bigger ommission, on form he is a superb player.

Maybe he invited Marcotti to his wedding?

its good to know carragher a better footballer than scholes though.

its funny cause its insane.

[Hassony]

Marcotti is an idiot

[deacon]

Biggest omission is Xavi. He is pure class. And as much as I hate him, Rio Ferdinand is the best defender in England. How is Neville better than him?

 

And what about our very own Mascherano?

 

Agreed that Marcotti is an idiot. At least when he's writing though, you're not hearing his whining, smug voice.

[Maldini]

Marcotti is an idiot

 

is right

[meepins]

Beckham is in it... says it all.

Childlike descriptions to go with the picks.

Bleh.

[Jiggy Hates Jazz]

Rio Ferdinand is the best defender in England.

 

Not even close. Terry, Carra, Vidic, Gallas to name just a few ahead of him.

[Guest Portly]

Interesting that so many of the readers' responses to the list are from Ryan Giggs fans around the world, complaining about his omission. It's a fair point, because although Giggs is generally considered to be well over the hill, he still played an important part in United's Premiership campaign last season.

every time i read or hear marcotti on football i get the impression he's only just got into the game.

[crisps]

Don't talk rubbish. Fabregas' reputation is still based on potential. He's good but top 10 ? Not even top 50.

 

Back to the list :

 

Puyol better than Carra ? Not a f**king chance. And that spiel about the basic criteria and all that other guff is bizarre.

[floyd]

Marcotti is an idiot

Too right. Doesn't like Liverpool at all that fat fvcker

[Bo Benn]

Considering the quality of some playeres left outside this list having Neville at no 50 is just looney.

 

Based on this list England must certainly dominate international football for sure

 

Funny comment (even though he might be right about the matter in question):

 

Where is Ricardo Quaresma from Porto on your list?

Have you seen he play?

if not check you(t)ube

 

Humberto, London,

 

Talent scout in the making?
