Search for the best players in Europe - Part 1

I agree with Otto,

still a way to go, but if things carry on as they are, with Drogba in just okayish form but Berby in blistering:

it should be Ronaldo and Berbatov from the EPL. Or at least closer than some a giving credit for

My top ten in Europe this season list:

1. Ronaldo
2. Alves
3. Drogba
4. Ibrahemovic
5. Totti
6. Ronaldinho
7. Iniesta
8. Scholes
9. Diego
10. Alves (holland)

Ronaldinho?

No way.

I'm not going to even begin doing a top ten, as I've seen next to no Italian football this year and only around 10 - 20 games in La Liga.

However if you are including the Champions league as well, there must be at least ten better performers than Ronaldinhio.

Eredivisie very difficult

1) Afonso Alves
2) Midget


and Alex, de Zeeuw, Gomes, Koevermans, Cocu (even Huntelaar now) etc

I understood this was regarding league form, so Ronaldinho merits his inclusion at least within the top players in La Liga. He is near top scorer and even though he has not always shone has rescued many points for the team that is now leader of La Liga.

It was league form, until Tweedle decided to do it differently.

Would Ronaldinhio come in the top 2 players this season in La Liga alone?

Probably

I'd say Iniesta is in front of him from Barca alone.

Then you have candidates from Sevilla, Real Madrid, Valencia etc.

Are you sure you're not saying that, just because he's been better than you expected?

Dinho is still the main man at Barca, its just that people expect him to do everything all the time - so when he doesn't people assume he hasn't been as good as another player that may not have been as good as him but for whom your expectations were lower (iniesta)

If I tell you he's not really having that good a season you might recognize him (although that would be quite a feat in tall grass) : it's that annoying little smurf Sneijder, nicknamed the midget because he's as big as the Average Garden Gnome.

Lets refer to him with his 'official' nickname .. Sneijderman.

Never again say the word 'Smurf'

Liga:

Alves
Dinho
Ruud
Villa

Ligue 1:

Toulalan, Juninho
Keita, Bodmer

The most underrated player on this board.

I do rate Sneijder highly, one of the greatest talents on his position, and probably the best player in the world < 1,70m.

One of the best; two footed players in Europe.

How dare you to cut off the most important part of that quote? Cheat.

Scholes is 1.68m.

So no.

Ok, point taken.

Sneijder looks smaller though. Must be the ginger hair that makes Scholes look taller. I have no other explanation.

Okay, okay....I have to admit that's probably true

Let's do a poll on these boards, I betcha his "official" nickname will be the Midget !

Sneijder the Midget : he's so small, because his ego is taking all the room it can get

i cant really name anyone better. maybe nedved? sneijder showed that he is maybe better then nedved to in terms of shooting.

Leo Messi is 1,69 m
Andres Iniesta is 1,69 m

both better than Sneijder and both < 1,70 m.

Liga: Definitely Dani Alves, and it's close between Iniesta and Kanoute for the next spot. I'd also like to mention Valdes, he's had his best season by far and is definitely close to Iniesta as our player of the season thus far.
