These are guys that could walk into any team in the world at their peak.

martyn Posted 2 August 2017 Posted 2 August 2017 To be fair peak Ighalo easily displaces Suarez at Barça. No debate really.

I think id take one of the best managers of all times opinion on Scholes Sir Alex Ferguson has insisted he only ever had four truly world-class players at Manchester United - and neither David Beckham nor Roy Keane are among them. The former United boss of 26 years, who won 13 Premier League trophies, believes that only Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Eric Cantona and Cristiano Ronaldo deserve that title. As for Cole he was considered the best left back in the world at his peak, thus world class

His parents always told him that cannabis would mess with his mind, but would he listen?! They should attatch his quote on the side of every pack of rizzla as a deterrent.

Mate, I'm with you that Iheanacho could be incredible and one of the best young players in world football but that list literally had me in tears. I could name an all time Leicester PL XI and feasibly only Mahrez would make that team and none of those others would be good enough..
