      This thread is too F***ing funny.

      Disagree with PGlynn and you're biased.

      A page back.

      Not sure if Mancs class him as a legend, most seem indifferent towards him now.

      GK Pepe
      DR Maicon
      DL Lahm
      DC Pique
      DC Agger
      MC Mascherano
      MC Gerrard
      MR Messi
      ML Hazard
      SC Suarez
      SC Villa

      Thats mine, granted Hazard isnt fully developed to his potential yet.  He is still a great player to watch.  Rest of them you can say are already at the top now.

                  Casillas/Reina

      Ramos   Vidic    Puyol     Lahm

                   Mascherano

                Xavi          Iniesta

      Ronaldo                        Ozil/Ribery ( Ozil would be better in the centre of a 4-2-3-1 CAM. )
                        Messi

      I'm really surprised that no-one else went for Eto'o.

      Has always been very under rated actually.

      In my opinion, from what players I have seen, the best African footballer ever!

      No doubting Eto'o has quality.
      But up front, does he get into the team ahead of Messi or Ronaldo. No

      Even if you played a 4-2-3-1 I would expect most people would have the like of Rooney or Higuain in the team before him.

      At his best I'd rate him above higuain.

      His best was a few years ago now though.

      I'd certainly have Eto'o over Higuain, and in the past even over Rooney. Eto'o actually was on great form last season. But he is getting on, and the Russian league won't exactly get the best out of him. And Rooney is still to reach his peak.

      Well above Gonzalo who is vastly overrated. Eto'o shits on him on his day.

      I'm amazed by the amount of times Rooney appears in your team's. Far too inconsistent for me IMO he's one of the most overrated players around.

      I agree that he's inconsistent but when Rooney is on form, he's easily the third best player in the world.

      At the moment, he's the most on form player in the world. Any non-biased fan can see that he's been class this season. Best player in the league so far this season.

      Top three!!! I'm sorry but how even at his optimum level does he exceed the level of Xavi, Iniesta, Aguero or Suarez?

      Yes, when he's at his very best.

      Also I see Suarez and Rooney are on a par in terms of work rate, creativeness and ability but I think Rooney is slightly more clinical in front of goal which just puts him above Suarez slightly.

      Completely disagree with Rooney on form is the 3rd best player in the world?

      Or that Rooney is a more clinical finisher then Suarez.

      Yes, football is full of opinions and that is good. Respect your opinion but I disagree with it.

      Can't judge a player just on his best games though can you, it's about how a player consistently performs.

      I'm afraid at the moment I would rate Rooney ahead of our Suarez but I think Suarez could prove to be as good in the next year of two .
