LOL you have Scholes on there and not him.


Except he's not a playmaker, he's an average passer, has average vision but is an exceptional dribbler.

Any answer other than Riquelme and you aren't watching the same sport I am.


Average passer your having a laugh.

Everyone else is average because they make the same predictable passes whereas Hleb for the most part make reverse passes all day. Average vision ?????? well outside of Berbatov no one outside of the Arsenal camp comes close.

Hleb currently plays in the toughest and best league in the world .I do respect what Riquleme can do in his league , But doing that in the prem is the real test of a players ability. When i see Riquleme rip Man U apart as easily as Hleb does then i will give him credit. Whe talking about the best in any area of footballing it's almost impossible to consider anyone outside of the best league in the world.

The times i have watched Riquelme play in the past he has been a joy to watch. However, i have not seen him play in the league this year. Plus i don't know if this is correct but in the Argentina Vs Brazil match the commentator said he had a poor season. Commentators talk crap 90% of the time so it will probably be wrong. From what i have seen this season i will go with Fabregas. When he is on form he can control a game. I will admit that he didn't have a great season right the way through but not every player does. I would love someone like him to play for Newcastle, but its never gonna happen.



Second half of the season he was garbage and everyone saw it. If you all you want on your team is a player who only has half a season in him then more fool you. How many times have you heard commentators say "he had a great season" . Last year two seasons ago Bebatov had a great season,so too did Drogba. Last season many would say Ronaldo and Torres had great season's so what the hell are you on about ,"nobody does".
Cesc has been overrated by the media for a long time , and was hyped many times last season even in his second half slump incredibly.Hleb was far more consistent than Cesc and he won Arsenal numerous penalties in crunch time. Check that incredible Bolton game when they were down ten men and 2 goals down early.LOL.

Nope he is average, he doesn't make any passers that countless great playmakers across Europe and South America can't do.

When Hleb actually passes the ball, as opposed to a head down run until he gets tackled, he never does anything out of the ordinary.

It's pretty pathetic that a grown man can show such blind favouratism that he thinks his precious player is the best in a role he doesn't even play.

Yeah Specnur I can't actually believe you're that ignorant to assume that not only Hleb is better than Fabregas, but also better than anyone else who plays in any other league apart from the Premiership. His passes don't actually come of that often, true he dpes see things that many others don't but he rarely actually splits the defence with the pass, more often than not it's intercepted.

In terms of actual passing and vision Riquelme, Xavi and Pirlo are miles ahead, Riquelme has played some of the most astounding passes I have ever seen, like his pass to Messi in last years Copa America, only a true genius could do something like that. Even Fabregas is a much better, consistent passer, Hleb doesn't usually play the playmaker role, in behind the strikers or deep lying, he's normally on the wing therefore rendering him more of a winger.

A few years ago Pablo Aimar would have been up there, shame his career has went down the toilet. Alex from Fenerbache is also a fine playmaker. Theres a few good, ageing Spanish playmakers as well sch as Guti, Valeron and Del La Pena.

Anderson's inclusion is an absolute joke. Fabregas, Juninho and Diego should be there ahead of him.

I'd have to pick Deco though.

At his best, he's simply sublime. Intelligence, dribbling, passing, vision, creativity, the lot! He has the full package, and is a magical player. Riquelme's very close though, but Deco has a bit more to his game. Well, he has that extra pace to shift a player and unlock an opening.

I'll say Pirlo. I have never ever seen a better passer of a football.

I've never really got whats so great about Diego. I don't really watch the German league. But anythime I've seen him in the CL he's been average at best & he's just been plain crap each time I've seen him for Brazil. He's too lightweight.

That's why.

He is awesome, trust me. Don't be too critical of his form in Europe. Remember, he is young, and new to Europe and European football.

Well actually he's been in Europe 3 or 4 years now so he's had time to adjust.

From what I've seen in the CL he's been good, especially against Real Madrid and Chelsea.
