Not a lot that one can disagree about on that list. I might be able to list one or two other players who may be just as good in each of those positions but none would be head and shoulder above those on the list.

[Toni]

see. we just need to add kaka ronaldinho and lahm to our team and we will conquer england and europe again.

A team straight out of Kevin Keegan's wet-dreams

 

I can see him emerging from the wilderness to manage that team.

[Guest Anders Honoré]

Puyol shouldn't be in there. And a central midfield of cesc and kaka is enough to give anyone nightmares.

[bazz]

That can't be the team......sure there's no United player in it

[tomasjj]

Puyol shouldn't be in there. And a central midfield of cesc and kaka is enough to give anyone nightmares.

 

 

Agreed. Puyol is overrated, Marquez is better.

Cesc not worthy of a place in that team by a distance.

Was it really 2002 when every Irish person with internet access voted for Damien Duff on the UEFA team of the year?

Seems like only yesterday.

Our lobby was strong back then.

[Bjarkinn]

Terry was better than puyol

Given the powers of Damien Duff to walk on water back then, he didnt need our backing, Lennart Johansson begged him to be part of the team as without him the whole ideaology of a UEFA Team of the Year would be held up to ridicule and could of resulted in the marble pillars in the UEFA HQ stronghold crumbling around the bureaucrates ears.

 

Duff is the messiah and I should know, I've followed a few (including Eeeeegor)

[Guest spk]

inivisible during his world cup and been injured for a bit lately - sorry but there is no way that henry should be in there over drogba. regardless of your personal feelings towards him and chelsea his goal tally is whats important and right now, with 21 goals to his name already this year, he's probably the best in europe.

[G Richards]

That team has a lot of great individuals but it doesn't look very balanced. There are 2-3 central defenders I could pick ahead of Puyol, and it seems like there needs to be a bit more steel in the midfield.

 

The team would probably win most games 8-6 or something like that, so whoever said it was a Keegan team was spot on.

[Guest AngryParrot]

They would be hammered by Bolton!

[Magic8Ball]

so

who are the best RM's ?

 

and finally who are the RM's we stand a chance of getting ?

Why do we need one when we have the best in europe??

[Magic8Ball]

Why do we need one when we have the best in europe??

But he's not really a RM he's a CM

[_00_deathscar]

He's a RB, LB, RM, CM, DM, and AM..and he happens to be bloody good at RM.

[John am Rhein]

But he's not really a RM he's a CM

 

He's not really a CM

[Rimbeux]

He's not really a CM

 

What's this all about?

 

Half a season spent filling in at RM and he's no longer capable or suited to playing orthodox CM, some kind of luxury player? Don't see it myself, more accurate to say he's not just a CM

[Guest kring]

anybody think C. Ronaldo should be in there?? Or is that the forbiden words??
