The Best Current English Footballer???

[se7en]

Who do you believe is the best English footballer currently playing at the moment?

Obviously David Beckham and Michael Owen come into consideration, However, what about people like Steven Gerrard and Rio Ferdinand?

I think you should avoid making your selection purely on the basis of the media acclaim and rather select who you think is the most accomplished player in his position.

I actually think Rio Ferdinand is the most complete player in his position at the moment.

I think the best English player is Becks.IMHO he`s the most important and valuable for England at the moment.He is the best midfielder followed by Paul Scholes and Stevie G.
Owen is the best forward.
Rio is the best among defenders IMO.

Personally an on form Gerrard wins it for me. England have never lost whilst he's been playing.

Do you want to rethink that statement?

Scholes = Hollow man!

Obviously a somewhat biased view but on current for it has to be Beckham. He leads the team well, creates a lot of the playand has scored crucial goals. Owen comes a close second because opposition players are shit scared of him, hope he can stay fit for Englands benefit if not for the scousers.

Striker: Owen

Midfield: Beckham

Defender: Ferdinand

Goalkeeper: ???????

So basically it's got to be between those three.

Unless Shaun Goater is English

Ferdinand has improved a great deal, IMO.

Phrases like "on form" and "when fit" are always central for you scousers when discussing the qualities of your key players

Hard to compare Gerrard, Owen and Beckham...

If they're all on top of their game Gerrard claims it for me...he is the most complete

 

[Red Pat]

Beckham will probably win all the awards but for me the most exciting bloke has to be Owen.

 

[darko]

It's a tough call. But, I would say David Beckham followed by Micheal Owen. But, when he's on form, no one is better than David May!

Michael Owen for me has a long time to go...
And Alan Shearer/Andy Cole are on the outskirts, Fowler and Heskey complete Shite...
David Dunn and Sean Davis are coming through, and Martin Keown and David James impress me to.

Becks is the best, Owen is awesome at the mo..great to watch..even tho i can't stand the twat

Scholesy: i've said it before, you have to watch him 'live', he's not had a good season thus far but on form he is a great player.

Hate to say this being a Utd fan,but i think Owen shines the most outa the rest.He's just class.Good on the ball,times his runs to perfection,excellent finisher and can even get up over tall defenders and score great headers.He's a gem !
