Come on, Rooney, Ferdinand, Giggs, Terry, Lampard, Gerrard are all homegrown, not expensive imports.

no but due to the possibility to pay them high wages, they are staying. I guess Terry makes almost 200.000 euro's each week....there are players in the Netherlands that make that kind of money in a year.

Seeing as we are basing this on nationality we have Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard, John Terry and Rio Ferdinand. I could just list the England team, but I think we have some great players IN England. Ryan Giggs, Frank Lampard, Michael Essien, Robin Van Persie, Emmanuel Eboue, Cristiano Ronaldo, Robinho (JUST KIDDING!)...


Simply put I think the Premier League is the best league in the world... thats fighting talk!

no offence to you, but that's not suprising for me at all, cause there are Man City and Chelsea...
ofcourse Liverpool, Arsenal and ManU have very great and unique players too, but it's easy to take "some" money and buy the best players in the world, how boring...

what you think where ribery and toni came from, eh?

Kluivert...ah...sigh. And you call Robben the man of glass? It is such a shame Kluivert somehow never continued. Back in the days -2000- he was one of the best strikers in the world. He was/is so gifted! Incredible.
But Robben is potentially one of the best players around. He is, somewhat like Messi, able to annoy an entire defense. Very threatening. Others you mention, Bouhla -not the first choice at his team- not worldclass, De Jong, at his possition one of the better players I agree with you. Marcellis and Van der Wiel are still very young and have a lot to prove. Nonetheless they are promissing!

But Robben comeon... He's no way near Messi.. he'sn't even near Sneijder, van Persie or vd Vaart.  He's lacking something important: It's a teamsport. Even in Spain they know that;) Besides that: http://www.voetbalzone.nl/doc.asp?uid=76723
I think Babel is a better player then Robben.

And Bouhla not worldclass... well can remember him playing some worldclass players.. they had no chance.

Absolute top = Kaka, Messi, Ronaldo, v. Persie (please note that I'm an ajaxfan and he comes from the city of cockroaches), Chivu, Fabregas, Giggs and Torres

somewhat like Messi.......sure he is injured a lot, sure he is forgetting his teammates now and then, but other than that, he is ace. Babel is good, but not too good. Last week he was showing it. But than again, he is not a winger, he is, I think a striker.

No, he's no center. Babel needs space... and he's younger, smarter... But offtopic, Heye, did you read my pm?

Entirely honest? Julio César. Brought up by my beloved team, and the man is amazing, the saves he makes! There are a LOT of great goalkeepers nowadays, and Brazil has a fair amount of them (which is weird, it's always been a weakness of your squad), as does Spain, but no one is like Julio. The guy is a cat, 'nough said.

Van der Sar....haha. Well, maybe not the best, but certainly one of the best. Ok, in his age category (35+) he is most definately the best. Other than that he is in my top3

haha, if we would have had a kind of "bet and win" i would have won, cause i know that you are a great fan of van der sar. :D
but you're right, that he's very very good at his age of... i guess ... 39, right?!

to my mind top 5.

he has got a lot of experience, but his reflexes aren't that perfect and fast anymore like those from e.g. giggi buffon. and this isn't subjectively anyway. ;)
