[Spike]

Emnuelle Zulu - think I have seen that

[Maldini]

From what I remember those lists are in alphabetical order rather than ranking

[Tosh]

is that our Diarra at 31?

[Nogsy]

Reads like a who's who of Championship Manager.

[Earl Hafler]

Anelka as a rising star...a couple of years after joining Real for £24m.

 

Looks like someone picked out a few good players and then threw in about 70 exotic names for good measure.

[R A Softlad]

From what I remember those lists are in alphabetical order rather than ranking

 

One of yours Paul?

[Andythered]

Wes Brown. :dynamite:

 

 

Emmanuelle Zulu: A soft porn movie where trenchent Welsh men are surrounded by temptation but muddle through.

[Nerik]

Owen a rising star in 00/01 when he went on to win the Golden Ball in 01?

Also Anelka was far from rising in 00/01.

There are some interesting ones that made it, others who we've never heard of apart from in that list.

One of yours Paul?

Nah, It's from World Soccer magazine, I reckon they must have used a quota system. I only did one of those lists and was a secondary partner

4. Julius Aghahowa Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukr) Nigeria

[Guest JV]

throw in Owen and Cassano as well to that list. and Kewell did become world class, just rvaged by injuries since.

 

Samuel, for a time, was world class as well.

 

Whatever happened to Ventola? was supposed to become the real deal for Inter back in the day.

Lost his way and was loaned out to 4 trillion clubs.

[Maldini]

Ventola was on loan at Palace last season and struggled for a game, think he's had a few bad injuries in the last few years
