Not to sure about that list to be honest Kaka I watch alot of football and he was shite last year alot of these players go off name rather than perfromance over last 12 months, Rooney in ahead of Torres Again I think that is wrong, even Gerrard why is he in there? Alonso was Liverpool star midfielder last year.


My pick would be

1.Messi
2.Iniesta
3.Xavi

I think Ronaldo will get 2nd or 3rd going off name again when in reality he had a quiet year to the previous one.
Kaka didn't have his best year, but he played a key role in Milan's CL qualification & Brazil's Confederation Cup win, so he wasn't shite, but he doesn't deserve to be in there.

Rooney is an odd one, although Gerrard is the strangest choice, I'm not sure he did anything deserving of it.

I'd say it should be Xavi, I thought he deserved it the year before for how excellent he was in the Euros, so I'd go

1. Xavi
2. Messi
3. Iniesta

Oh & Messi is better than Ronaldo. Ronaldo has yet to truly shine against a world-class defence. Messi has destroyed them. Ronaldo is a very complete player, but to often better opponents can take the piss out of him (Ashley Cole, Rino Gattuso, Carles Puyol). I think last night (when neither Messi or Ronaldo was fully fit) exemplified who the better player is.
