Giggs was a phenomenal player with a huge amount of trophies in his career. I’d have him back with Wales tomorrow.

De Bruyne and Henry.
I know there's a lot of sentiment for players like David Silva and he was truly brilliant but I think those two are just a shade above. I put him more along the level of Bergkamp, Salah etc.. Just brilliant footballers but I'd rank them slightly a notch below someone like Kev who is the best in his era in terms of his job role.
Ronaldo would be there but his best years were not here so I don't think he can be included. Suarez is another one like that, a great footballer but really hit their peak elsewhere, even though they had a very good couple of seasons here before moving.

If you were honestly putting an all time best 11 from the prem with traditional player positonsina 4-3-3 I expect it would go a bit like this.
GK -Schmeichel
RB - Walker
CB - Stones
CB - Adams
LB - Clichy
DM - Viera (pipping Rodri just)
RW - Ronaldo
B2BM - Yaya
AM - Kevin Debruyne
LW - Henry
FWD - Aguero
Ashley Cole would be ahead of Clichy for me.

From a Blue perspective it's YaYa for me, immense player and scored big, big goals for us. Winds up the bed wetters on here as well.
From outside the Blue perspective it'd be a close run thing with Henry/Bergkamp. Even without the Blue specs I can't nominate any Rag.

I’m still amazed that pig ginger received a red in the semifinal.Scholes was a giant beneficiary of Ferguson's intimidation tactics. Pisses me off everytime he flies in studs up and walks away with just a yellow, sometimes not even a yellow. He'd have alot more reds and a more sour reputation had he been playing for any other side.

A lot of trophies and a decent winger, but Robert Pires, Salah, Ronaldo would all come before him as whose bestGiggs was a phenomenal player with a huge amount of trophies in his career. I’d have him back with Wales tomorrow.
