005 Lionel Messi
004 Thierry Henry
003 Ronaldinho
002 Cristiano Ronaldo
001 Kaka

My obvious initial objections are:

Naka is better than 100th

Ronaldo is not the second best player int he world

Gerrard is not the sixth best player in the world, far from it

Rooney is not the eighth best player in the world, far from it

Rio Ferdinand at 24 is truly laughable

Berbatov is only in the list because he plays in England. He wasn’t better than Klose when they played in Germany and he’s not better than him now just because he moved.

Kallstrom is only there on reputation - he’s not better than Zidan for example.

Lee Trundle not being on that list is ridiculous.

BIg shocker that Naka is at 100. Clearly he shouldnt be on this list at all.

Also I’d have Messi at number 2 and as much as I hate to say it I would probably have Essien higher on the list too.

Agreed that Rio at 24 is crazy.

Agreed on Essien.

careful what you say- flango will accuse of being anti epl
nedved shouldnt be there anymore
ronaldo shouldnt be in the top 5
seedorf should be higher
