Who are your top 15 players currently plying their trade throughout the world?

(saw it being discussed on another thread so I thought I'd move it onto here.)

Mine are

Messi
Ronaldo
Xavi
Silva
Van Persie
Schweinstiger (sp)
Vidic
Thiago Silva
Yaya Toure
Pique
Dani Alves (prick though)
Robben
Iniesta
Neymar
Aguero


Managers top 3

Sir Alex
Mouriniho
Moyes
 
moyes is a good manager, not sure top 3 in the world though, i'd probably put del bosque in there

I struggled for a third choice to be frank, but I really rate his ability with such a small squad and non existent budget. Anyone could have won the world cup with spain I think, don't know enough about the man to know what else he's achieved though.

he also won the euros with spain plus 2 la ligas and 2 champions leagues with madrid in 4 years. guardiola may also be a good shout for the list
 
Messi
Ronaldo
Iniesta
Van Persie
Silva
Kompany
Aguero
Thomas Muller
Mario Gomez
Mario Gotze
Xavi
Di Maria
Ozil

I can see the reasoning with all of those bar Muller and bar kompany being that high up in your list. Muller doesn't wow me to be honest and Kompany while being impressive is no better than any of the other players that are behind him in that list. Also Mancini same thing with the spain squad, it would be criminal not to win anything with all that money.
 
Messi
Ronaldo
Pastore
Thiago Silva
Cassillas
Van Persie
Xavi
Iniesta
Pique
Rooney
Aguero
Kagawa
Gotze
Robben
David Silva
 
He didn't win the euros,that was Aragones.
Guardiola?nah

ah yes hadn't realised, why not guardiola he's won 3 consecutive la ligas 2 champions leagues and 1 copa del ray in 3 years management, that is a ridiculous achievement despite the team he has

I was thinking of Mancini's ability to handle massive egos. He seems to getting the best out of Balotelli and he handled the Tevez situation well.

Erm... SAAAAAAAYYYY WHAAAAAT!?
 
A few worth a mention:

Eden Hazard
Ganso
Alexandre Pato
Giorgio Chiellini
Luka Modric
Mario Gomez
Nico Gaitan
 
Moyes has done a fantastic job with Everton, and continues to do so, but to say he's one of the three best managers in the world right now is laughable imo. I'd put Paul Lambert above him from this country alone, and then there's also the likes of Ancelotti, Guardiola, Capello, Wenger, Hiddink, Del Bosque, & Mancini to consider.
