Ronaldo

He's not as good as he was due to his injuries but he's still got a touch of class. Maybe so, but the concensus seems to be that he's up there with Ronaldo and Messi, he's never been as good as those two and certainly isn't now.

Kaka is the most overrated player on the planet.

Scholes at his best was the best of the lot, but his prime only lasted 4 years.

He's a better passer and crosser of the ball than Gerrard and Scholes.

He is a great passer of the ball, the last point is plain wrong tbh.

Lampard has nearly 150 goals for Chelsea, assists must be off the chart too.

True, like. Only rubbish like Man Utd, Real Madrid & AC Milan. Man U got rid of him in that period, he won nowt at Madrid until the season he was peripheral and he's now a substitute at Milan who have him on loan.

As much as Gerrard is a tad overrated, he could have walked into any team in europe in the last 7 years and won all of that. You cannot say the same about Beckham.

Tbh I say we lock this thread now. As for the injury, I hope it ends his career.

By the time he returns it'll be nearly 2 years since he last scored in a league start.

Beckham is so overrated it's embarrassing, Lampard for me.

Backup would be good, starting would be less good.

When typing that I was thinking about how punchable Barry's face is.

I'm not a big fan of Barry, perhaps due to the fact he's a complete prick.

Each to their own, but I couldn't disagree more, Carrick absolutely bossed the midfield.

Carrick was the best player on the pitch on sunday for me, don't see where Messi is coming from. Probably his agenda against english players not named Beckham.

Carrick was woeful in the carling cup final? Fucking hell.

Carrick is easily our best CM behind Lampard and Gerrard.

I'd much rather us go into the summer with Ashley certain that he's going to be there in August.

Take out James and I agree with that to some extent.

In all honesty, what the hell is wrong with this Macca? It's one thing hearing voices, completely another seeing posts that aren't actually there.

As things stand, of course Beye is better, he'd be a good signing considering his versatility.

Tevez is a much better comparison. Bergkamp wasn't the type of player to really run at defenders like Pedro did.

Cole was the best player on the pitch during the first half of saturday's game. He's a fantastic footballer who shouldn't be overlooked.

20 outfield players is more than enough.
