PLayed in two of the top 3 leagues only - else we can mention pretty much anyone

Lineker was good for barcelona and in england

That wasn't aimed at you!

It was aimed at the Dutch posters that seem to be insistent on posting their layers and also the person that put Larsson (again a dutch poster)

Stam Forlan Kanoute milosevic benayoun vieira

Forlan was a success in the premiership now was he?

Remember, Arnaud says that Waddle is the best English player EVER

Stam - Fair enough.

Forlan - Good in Spain utter shite in England, nice guy though.

Kanoute - Very average

Milosevic - Good shout

Benayoun - No

Vieira - Legend over here, poor at Milan and has not hit top form yet for Inter.

Although paradoxically he may win Serie A with two seperate clubs two seasons running

? He was shit at Villa, nicknamed Missalotevich. Wasn't in italy for long.

Plus he's a racist scumbag.

He scored 29 goals in 91 games for a struggling Villa, that is not too bad.

He did well at Zaragoza in Spain too.

Spain I agree his record was good. But over here he was nothing special. Not terrible, but nothing special.

I agree.

He did alright, but hardly put in performances that set the league alight.

Anelka?

Has as much case as Vieira.

Both excellent in England and won titles without playing there best in either the Seria A or La Liga.

Suppose. Won La Liga, Champions League, Super Cup with Madrid and the double with us.

Even though it may sound strange looking at that I still think his career is slightly wasted.

More like plenty wasted. He should've been one of the greatest strikers of His generation.

TINO ASPRILLA! At Parma and Newcastle.

What about at Juve? Sure they did not win the league but he did well enough to be considered a sucess.

I think that was Mihalovic you're thinking about (although Milosevic could also be)

Edgar Davids?


Did well for Milan and Juve, helped a struggling Barca on loan in Spain, impressed for Spurs, was very good at Ajax...

So true.

He was the catalyst for Barcelona's charge into 2nd in 2003-04.

He's clearly slowing down now - but he was good for us last season.

i quote wikipedia: Aston Villa made huge progress in 1995-96 under Brian Little. They won the League Cup, reached the FA Cup semi finals and finished fourth in the Premiership. Villa's form dipped slightly in 1996-97 and they finished fifth, but still qualified for the UEFA Cup.

savo was okay, but too inconsistent. scored a great goal in the league cup final

I got my words mixed up.

Savo was the catylist for Villas upsurge in fortunes.

Glad to see Platt was mentioned....

He is actually loved by Samp....

I think you're right 110% However I do think he caused a big furore for spitting on someone and then left Villa under a major cloud.

Vialli, Figo, Beckham.

Mendieta.

Mendieta?

He never again recahed the standards he set at Valencia so for me, no

Beckham is not exactly a good choice in my opinion.. He has never won anything outside England and is not really a key part of Real Madrid.

He was a key part of their team for a few years though and winning nothing cant be all down to him.

He was good for you but at Valencia he was one of the best 5 midfielders in the world
