The Guardian's Top 100 Footballers

[Bruce Wayne]

All these lists are good for is generating bar room debate (or their modern incarnation - forum debate). It's the football equivalent of Strictly or X-Factor.

 

[Slavan]

no baines?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

The fact that there are more players from the Premier League in the list than any other league says it all really.

 

[Rook]

Kompany No.23 LOL. Hasn't anybody noticed how avg he's been this year (and last they didn't shore up the D until the last month when Lescott came back from injury).

Ashley Cole and no Baines. I guess the secret is to latch on to a big $$$ club to get noticed. No doubt that he's on the list if he forced a move to Utd. No wonder why so many players want to leave when they get good. Watch Arteta get in the Spainsh side now, Lescott barely got a sniff until he got to be a part time starter at City.

As well as no Baines, I don't think Jordi Alba is on the list either. Both are better than Cole.

Arteta will never get in the Spanish side btw. He's just not as good as the midfielders they already have.

 

[Dylan]

Yeah, just no way Arteta is ever going to get into the Spanish side. Unless there are MULTIPLE injuries across the board.

As for the list, it is The Grauniad doing it.

 

[icburns]
