Makes you think

Have I missed something obvious?

Have I missed something obvious?

You've missed the TRUTH.

 

[prawnking]

Surprised to see no Andre in there

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Modric far too low, best footballer I've ever seen live.

 

[Jack Regan]

Far too many goalkeepers in there. Petr Cech in the top 20 and higher than Bergkamp FFS!

 

[jd1981]

Proper big 6 bias in that list how is tin hat Matt not on the list?
Scholes down at 15th one of the best midfielders the league has seen.

 

[jd1981]

Agree on Modric embarrassing he’s not top 20 let alone being down at 71st. David Silva down at 31 should be a bit higher absolute quality.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Mousa Dembele and Brad Friedel shouldn’t be anywhere near this list.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Mousa Dembele and Brad Friedel shouldn’t be anywhere near this list.

Dembele is rated by Spurs fans as one of their best ever player, not really seen it myself, but that's high regard.

Mousa Dembele at Tottenham – ‘It was just impossible to get the ball from him’

Dembele's immaculate control and slick turns have gone down in Tottenham folklore - but was he really as good as the legend suggests? Yes...

Dembele was absolutely brilliant for a couple of years but never really sustained it

Dembele was absolutely brilliant for a couple of years but never really sustained it

Went under the radar because he didn't contribute a great deal in terms of goals/assists that I recall but was wonderful to watch in the middle 3rd.

 

[BillyDee]

Was great at picking the ball up from deep, driving up the pitch, then shooting from outside the box and skying it...

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Dembele was a very good player but he wouldn’t be in my top 100.

 

[AndyWolves]

Juninhio couldn't have played more than 50 pl games.

Juninhio couldn't have played more than 50 pl games.

125 across three spells

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Paolo Di Canio seems a bit high.

 

[darlowolf64]

Paolo Di Canio seems a bit high.

Yeah but he caught the ball once...

 

[Tony Towner]

Yeah but he caught the ball once...

He's not in the top 200

 

[prawnking]

Where would people put Moutinho (if we tried to be unbiased)?

Not in the conversation. Neither is Neves who personally I'd put above him
