Best 5 players in the world, excluding Barça and Real?

On what basis do you form that opinion, I don't even need to look at stats over there playing careers but all 3 are better than him stat wise and in EVERYONE elses opinion better than him, others are better as well.

 

I rate richards very highly, sagna and evra are decent also.

 

Micah Richards and Baines are better than Cole who even though he is not as good as he was is still better than Assou Ekotto. Lahm is quite good though

 

I'd rather Danny Fox as my LB every day of the week

 

Personally I think Cole is one of Englands 'world class' players over the last ten years or so. He has not had such a good season this year but playing alongside Luis probably does not help. Evra has been good for a long time but has had a tough year whereas Sagna has been out with so many injuries he has unfortunately not put too many games under his belt. As for Richards, I rate him but I suspect defensively he can be got at; Robben caused him problems all night at Wembley the other week, so I am not sure he is as good as we think.

 

Silva, Sneijder, Robben, Hazard, Yaya Toure

 

In all fairness though robben is probably the best winger in the world barring ronaldo

 

Robin Van Persie, Rooney, Robben, Silva and Neymar for Me
