Which football players would you like to see grace English football? Obviously the big names would play in the Premiership but you never know as Socretes shocked the football world.

I would like to see Ronaldinho play in England, and it would have been nice for Henrik Larsson to make a name in England.

What about you?

I would love to see Zidane in the premiership.


I was looking forward to seeing Kluivert in the premiership but it looks as though he's a bit passed his best.

Chelsea will sign a few anyway next season :P

No doubt if Chelsea don't win anything (I doubt this will be the case) then a whole new £250m squad will be in place for next season so lets see who they go for.

He did play in the prem, yeah. Was at Chelsea for at least one season. Think he went to Man City after that. He has an FA Cup winners medal i believe.

Yes, you are correct but IMO was a shell of his former self.

In his AC Milan days he was pretty good.

Very true. It seems we get alot of players like that here. Vidane would be the same if he ever came here. Only Chelsea seem to have a chance of getting the really top notch players.

I would have loved to have seen Maldini here, but that was never going to happen.

Agree with your list except fot these two, can I ask why Dean Sturridge as he doesn't play for the blades anymore. I only want to see Ward play in the Premeirship if it'sagainst the Blades, then at least we know he wont score.

It was cut and paste from another site :)

Must be out of date

They must have missed out Sturridge when deleting the names as Emanuelle Gabrieli came in well over 6 months after Sturridge left, in fact it could have been a season ago. Oh well never mind.

Roy Makkay (spelling wrong) seems to be doing well and I think he could do well in the Premiership

Freddy Adu

Probably one of the best young talents in the world right now but still plays for DC United in the US.

All the major teams are keeping their eye on him apparently but Man Utd are favourites for him at the moment.

So watch this space,

ALSO Ronaldinho/Shevchenko would be great in the premiership.

This kid was quoted as saying he would love to play in Europe and Man u or Chelsea were his preferred teams.

One for the future?

Send him an email and tell him it would be better to play for the Blades!

I was talking to Kabba, Armstrong and Ashley Ward today and they are all optomistic they are coming back. Ashley said to me regarding a comeback soon "We are willing but not sure if we are able!" anyone can tell him that he isn't able. He was a nice enough bloke but if it was between him and Adu, you know who Warnock would pick;)

The kid is incredible - trust me on this.

Ronaldinho and Adu are very similar players in how they play- both enjoy doing the trickshow.. would be brilliant to see both in the premiership- and Freddy at MUFC.
