>>57925189
>Shearer
The all time top scorer (and by some distance) of the greatest league in the world. And he did it in shitty teams, he wasn't surrounded by GOATs like Messi etc. had
>Terry
Has been the best defender in the world since 2005. A whole decade of eliteness beats out the likes of Nesta and Puyol who were only at the top for about 5 years.
>A. Cole
The most complete left back of the last 20 years, easily. He could attack and defend and was always reliable. The only player who rivals him for that position is Maldini, but he's already at CB.
>no vieira
All of you kys
I disagree with a fair few of the players in there, but Shearer should be there.
Best striker of all time, not great technically, but he scored for fun.

>>57925357
I love Shearer but ''greatest league in the world'' means nothing, and it was greatest in late 70's/80's, not 90's or 00's
And Newcastle wasn't a shitty team, by any measure. But okay, I can concede on this.
>Terry
Cannavaro? Nesta? Both world champions and won shitload of titles with their teams. Both considered among greatest defenders. Pure bias.
>A. Cole
Don't make me laugh. You could've put Maldini there. Lahm played on the left too. Roberto Carlos was also a great wingback and practically revolutionized the position.
I notice no one on this board is as biased as English, why is that? It just look ridiculous.
>>57925679
Also, Italian League was far more defensive and tactics minded and harder to score than English. English league, especially then, was shooting long balls and putting players in hospital.
>>57925679
Only a goober would have Cole over Maldini.

Literally the worst post in this thread.

That must be really difficult to achieve anything when the club is keeping you down like that. Please tell me more bandwagoner, you're "knowledge" is hilarious. Every. Single. Time.
