best Prem player ever

[Nymzee]

Of course. But you could see his presence improve or dictate a game. The bloke is a bulb, but his impression on the most successful PL club in history is as much as a measure as someones obvious talent.

Viera was the same at Arsenal, Adams as well, but Keane did it for longer.

Oh yeh no doubt they're all great players; Vieira is my all time fave, just not sure they fit the category of 'winning a game by themselve'.

 

[COYBL25]

Cantona for me.

Not the best player on the list, but for sheer charisma, genius and being a total and utter cnut.

If he`d played here, we`d have worshipped him, same as the Man U fans.

Ironically, it wasnt even a PL game that made me think. It was the Juve CL semi, where they were 1 down, Keane was out of the final, but jeez, even on telly it was palpable the influence he had on his team.

Ronaldo is the best player to have played in the league, but Henry was the best IN the pl.

yeah i should've titled it "greatest ever" not best, as there's a slight but significant difference: Cantona was truly great for Man U, Fergie himself says Eric was the catalyst for the domination that followed.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Cantona.

I dont tjink the premier league saw the best of him but Ronaldo is the right answer. Himself and Messi have elevated football to new highs in the last 10 years.

 

[TheBigIguana]

The best player who has also played in the Premier League is Ronaldo. But going on just performances in the Premier League it's Henry and for me it isn't really particularly close. He had a season with 24 goals and 25 assists!

 

[dholliday]

a clear Arsenal 1-2 here, tho' it'd be nice to see a vote for Le Tiss, almost clicked there myself...genius player.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Henry & Bergkamp for me.

 

[Yarrgh]

My initial reaction is Henry.

Best one off season might go to the biter though.

Most important player might be Beckham. The lad had star power in prodigious amounts.

Honestly don't know.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Where's the Kevin Kilbane option?

 

[KaiserEFC]

Thinking about it, it’s probably actually Aguero out of them all on that list

 

[aazak]

Keane because he made everyone around him better and kept standards high day after day, year after year.

i always liked Beckham: great player with exciting skill set, he was always madly in love with football despite his cringe celebrity. i'd comfortably have him top 50 but i reckon he just misses out on being top 20 as sometimes he was effectively marked out of the game.
