take a GOOD look at the arsenal players

ForeverInLoveWithJus

Well Man Utd have had great players in that list you provided but also the likes of Roy Keane, George Best, Ruud, Bobby Charlton, Veron, Peter Schmeichel, Cantona,..

Riapanonias

yep indeed..
though alot of the players there are young and may get even better or worse.

ForeverInLoveWithJus

A lot of the players are young but the countries like Argentina, France, Germany, Holland and Spain have some fantastic players in that list.

Riapanonias

afcorse they do. but i dont think pele should have puted old players on the list and with old players i mean the players wich dont even play any more.

it does say living player so it should be the best player that ectually does play.

but afcorse they may still be one of the best

and i recon its tru 100 years this is because of fifa being 100 years

ForeverInLoveWithJus

Why cant they, some of the best players are the players that dont play anymore, they were world class and in a lot of cases, better than the players that are playing today, they were true legends in every sense of the word.

Riapanonias

how do you know that they are the best when they dont play anymore?

like george best!!. do you think he plays as good as he did when he was on top of his game?.

ForeverInLoveWithJus

Because I have watched many matches by him, he was one of the best footballers in the world ever in my opinion, its just sad that his career wasnt longer.

Riapanonias

yes he WAS
