About LinkBacksDavid Luiz and Terry ahead of Pepe.
Eriksen (talent no doubt) ahead of Modric.
The order of Dembele, Ben Arfa, Nasri, Kagawa, Sneijder amusing, especially as they're consecutive.
Deary me.

Yeah, it's a bit of a strange one. What's funny is that in another article they boast about how their football writers are the best in the world, and that they have an extensive global knowledge. It is, therefore, interesting that Sneijder comes in behind a load of players who play in the Premiership.
Will be interesting to see where players like Rooney rank on this list. My guess would be in the top 10, quite erroneously.
I think Sneijder's ranking is a sign that they actually watch European football rather than just ranking people on reputation. He's been struggling to get into a third-tier Inter side for nearly three years.
Don't know what they're smoking putting Pepe below Luiz, though.
Isn't the reason he's hardly been picked this season because of a legal wrangle over him refusing to take a pay cut though?
Nah that's a recent development. He's been below-par for a lot longer.
Maybe, but unless you totally don't subscribe to the "form is temporary, class is permanent" ethos, I think you'd be hard pressed to make out a case for these four being ranked ahead of him.
Don't think that cliché makes any sense at all, really. In any case, Sneijder's had more poor seasons in his career than good ones.
I haven't seen that much of him, but from what his managers have been saying I think it's more to do with the side not being able to carry his limitations than a loss of form. I'd definitely rather United signed Dembele and probably rather have Ben Arfa or Kagawa too. They're just so much more, umm... dynamic. Sneijder's a bit of a luxury player.
Of course if you take into account achievements, style etc. then yes, Sneijder should be much higher. But I think his past couple of seasons have been disappointing enough to make his ranking reasonable.

Sneijder being pish for the best part of 3 years probably plays quite a significant part in that.
United should sign Toni Kroos. I'm going to keep banging this drum until they actually approach Bayern for him.
I'd love it if we signed him but I can't think of one good reason why he'd come. Might as well say Rangers should sign Messi.
Only issue with that is he's German. We've never had a first team German player. Couple of youth prospects (Zieler the last one), but thats about it.

All the best Germans end up playing for Arsenal tbh.
And by that, I mean Jens Lehmann and Moritz Volz.
Come on you whites. Huge game tonight.
I'm just saying
