Yeah. He didn’t play only these last couple of years.

He was the best player in a team that won 3 straight league titles, went to 2 straight champions league finals , and won 1. Plus he won the Ballon d’Or doing it.

The list can’t just be a longevity thing. We have to consider peak levels as well. C.Ronaldo’s 06-09 can compare favourably with almost any other peak in the club’s history and he won loads of titles while doing it.


Fair enough

The person who has the strongest case of being overlooked because of the weak teams he played in is Bryan Robson.

Nice rhymes grin but you can't blame AI, even most top 11 I've seen somehow fail to include Rooney, he's criminally underrated

Yes that’s a good defence but it is no guarantee.
We can only go by what you have done NOT what you might have done, or else if we are not careful McTominay will use the same argument to bounce Scholes from the list. grin

What of the Good team he played with in 2011/2012? what was the outcome?

His performance with World cup and UCL winning Spain defence?

And Schmeichel won everything major in one season abi??


Are you saying that it was because of him Spain got knocked out? grin

Forget about agenda and let's talk proper. Yes DDG isn't a modern goalkeeper, but given his shot stopping, any proper team would find it hard to concede. If he played 5 seasons with a good team do you really think he wouldn't have a UCL?

Cantona was a key (if not the key) player in multiple league winning teams but I agree his position on that list is not infallible. Dennis Law definitely and maybe even RVN have an argument.

Scholes can be taken off for Charlton to slot into midfield and then you can bring Giggs on to the wing.

The only definite on the list are Keane, Charlton, Best, and C.Ronaldo.
I'm just trying to strike out the UCL rule. Schmeichel should be number one.

It depends on the line up. Probably Scholes or Cantona.

Best, Charlton, Ronaldo are untouchable.

You can have a midfield of Keane and Charlton.

Then C.Ronaldo on the left, Best on the right, Rooney and Cantona in attack.

Scholes.

Move Charlton to midfield to partner Keane.

C.Ronaldo and Best on the wings. Rooney and Cantona in attack.

DDG, Robson, Scholes, Giggs, Law, Becks, Stam, Evra on the bench.

I am sure I am forgetting someone else. Lol

Yup.
Duncan Edwards and Tommy Taylor were the 2 biggest losses from that crash in terms of footballing ability.

Charlton (and several others) has always said that Duncan Edwards was better than him, and that is saying a lot since Charlton ended up being the GOAT of English players.
