... we know, that is part of the point of these lists. I question Rio as opposed to Sol or Tony, for example. And while I can't argue about the CF and RF choices, I don't think Ronaldo should be a starter. He became the great one after he left. I probably would have given it to Henry.

As a Chelsea fan you probably won't agree, but Bergkamp deserves a spot on the bench more than Hazard (or Beckham).

Hazard's PL time was short. He burned bright, but he also had a bad season in there. Bergkamp was a badass and was in the PL longer.

I also agree on Ronaldo, he became who he is when he got to Madrid. He was great at Man U, but he was a different player then.

As I said below, these normally start a good discussion (which is why I posted it), but I also go crazy when people state that no one is close. Every single one of these are "debatable". Some more so than others, but we can have a good discussion, debate about each one.

I believe the writer is a Man Utd homer so he was probably trying to be fair.

... player with whom he played.

I'd happily change Fat Frank for Scholes, and then swap Schmeichel for Cech.

I also wouldn't put Cole there, but that's me.

And like I said, these are normally fun, and start good debate and discussion, which is the central point.

But when they throw in hyperbole around the selection, as if there isn't anyone close, it gets absurd.

If we are honest, there is an argument to be made at every single position on this list, none are black and white or "not close"
