Claude Makalele or Edgar Davids or?

Originally posted by petrosianpupilI like Paul Ince, and of course Viera is very good but he get lots of red cards. I would not want him in my team.

Viera and Keene were better than Davids.
Makalele is awesome, but he is playing with great players.
England always have been weak in that position, Ince was about our best, very underated.
Originally posted by GinoJViera got better about the red cards. He was so strong and a better team player than Davids. Those legs would take balls that were never his.

Originally posted by RagnorakRoy Keane had such a will to win it was frightening. It was no wonder Man Utd never gave up.
Amen.

He was quite simply, the best midfielder in the world. Only his own mind (helped by his growing age) and his manager, pigeon holed him as a defensive midfielder. His aerial ability (for a small lad 5' 10"😉 was unreal (goal against Juve in '99 stands out). His ability to play the killer pass is only surpassed by Paul Scholes and Fabregas. And his shooting ability was great.
I think that Viera was the more natural athlete, Keane made himself an athlete.

Greatest Player Ever, and my prediction: Greatest Manchester United Manager Ever. 🙂
