Favourite Player to watch?

SpAcEd OuT

Just wondering who is everyones favourite player to watch?

My personal favourite is Zlatan Ibrahimovic, hes creative, strong, fast and skillful. Love the way he likes to tease defenders and fans alike. Pure class if you ask me.

Defiently one of the top 3 attackers in the world and still developing.

heres one excellent example

even fooled the camera man in this one

I'd love to have a game against him, he's such a slippery little customer.

Betya he'd meg me the first time he got the ball.

he was coming back from injury so he played a match with the 21's against us (18's), probably the best player i've marked, one minute he's at your shoulder and the next he's gone, the speed of him

Sorry getting back to the point, my favourite player to watch when i was younger was Cantona, nowadays it would be Ronaldinho, i've fond memories of that Milan side with Gulit,V Basten and Rykaard, they ripped barcelona apart in the CL final one year

yop

Same as grasshoper, Milan team back then had so many players you'd enjoy to watch.

Ronaldinio, Henry at his best, Jimmy Traore

Tusky

KaKa.

Nunu

Andrea Pirlo for the past couple of seasons and Roy Keane for the last 10 years. Both of them just have so much positive influence in every game they play. It's not just what they do with the ball, you can almost see their minds at work on the pitch. Very few players see the overall picture on the pitch, but these 2 definetly do.

Big Ears

Ronaldinho for obvious reasons .

PHB

I love watching Van Nist, I watch every United and Holland game he plays in

mchurl

ronaldinoh for obvious reasons and messi because his touch,pace and ability to turn on a six pence is unbelievable

Kingp35

David Healy

When he's on his game Steven Gerrard, nothing like it when he picks the ball up from deep and starts running at the opposition. Gives everyone a lift.

Mike.

Culchie

Best player I ever seen in the flesh was Roberto Baggio when he played for Juventus, at his prime.

Was brought up as a kid watching Joh nRoberton 'skin 'em' at Forest European cup winning team.

Now, I love watching Quochaim of Real Betis, and that Argentinian fellah in midfield (forget name just now)

It's Joaquin , and the Argentinian is......................Messi

Rikand

Matt Le Tissier

OTliddy

Players who rarely lose the ball-Stephen Ireland, Giannokopolis(sp?), Rooney and Zidane when he was great

zAbbo

Messi

Jimi-Spandex

Probably Rooney at this stage, Ronaldinho is great too.

Himself and Joey Ndo, stunning.

Otherwise Ronaldinho and Messi, any player who just runs at defenders really.

MrJoeSoap

Aye, Wes and Joey are truly the Ronnie and Messi of the eL.

Half the Barca team. Maybe he's just settling in but van Bommel looks average playing with the players he is.

Necronomicon

Can't look too far past Ronaldinho in my eyes. Also, Henry can produce some great moments, as can Rooney. Everytime Rooney gets the ball, you just expect something to happen. He's also incapable of scoring scrappy, non-sublime goals!

Cutie18Ireland

I watch la liga every weekend just to see Messi. amazing talent.

I thought he's been excellent when he's played for them

Best player Ive ever seen in the flesh was Pavel Nedved. It was Czech Republic versus Ireland last year or the year before. He covered every blade of grass in Landsdowne. He was taken off at half time and the czechs fell apart.

Also how could you look past Ronaldinho. Im going to Barca versus Alaves in January and really looking forward to seeing himself and Messi.

Rooney rarely looses the ball???? I wouldn't have said that. I do agree though he is great to watch, my favourite would have to be Ronaldhino. I also love watching Steven Davis of Vill play, he's great on the ball.

Edit* I forgot about Lee Trundle, great to watch.

He does, but i didnt think he meant another betis player.

cournioni

Roy Keane at his peak.

Lex Luthor

Riquelme, Alonso, Gerrard, Rooney, Kaka, Henry & Hyypia.

Not in any particular order...

Rikand

Gattuso.

How U Like That

Ronaldinho, for obvious reasons.

Lex Luthor

add Davids & Begkamp to my list...still excellent and coming to the end of their careers although I still think Davids has a few more years left at top flight

besty

Rooney, Ronaldinho, Scholes, Zidane

Jivin Turkey

Rooney, Nedved, Rosiky, Alonso, and Henry in no particular order.

And obviously Ronaldinho and Zidane.

Bergkamp in his prime also was incredible.
