No Modric then...

No Modric then...

Modric is not good enough to keep out Xavi or Iniesta though

 

[Spurger King]

No Pav?

 

[$hoguN]

No Pav?

I was shocked too

 

[Kendall]

Silly team :lol:

Silly team :lol:

Are you telling me you don't think playing a team with 4 wingers/wide forwards (Bale, Messi, Ronaldo and Robben) in it, is not an ideal situation?

 

[kaz Hirai]

no ledley king. Best defender in the Galaxy

 

[RickyVilla]

Congrats Gazza.

 

[Hoddle_Ledge]

Xavi got the most individual votes so it would have been pretty hard for Modric to take his place.

He'll get there one day though.

Would have had RVP up front too and no Robben.


Still, nice to have the only PL player.

Are you not a believer of playing 4-1-5 then!? :wink:

I reckon Stoke could have a decent go at beating that team.

Real and Barca will be thinking the same thing soon!

Well done Bale :clap:

 

[tototoner]

well done Bale

 

[Adamspurs]

That is actually one hell of an achievement, well done Bale!

 

[sharky127]

Its official then, we have the best player in the Premiership!

 

[ShelfSide18]

Whilst Bale hasn't even been the best player in our midfield in 2011, to me this just shows how much Spurs are getting noticed now. Look at that team, Madrid, Barca, Milan and Munich are all European giants, not just big clubs, but historically the best clubs - and us making up the numbers here speaks volumes.

The world is watching.

 

[Super Tottenham]

How many in here voted for him? I know I did, also voted for Modric although he was up against Xavi I think.

 

[deselina]

Bale did very well to get in. He's becoming a household name for so many to vote on him.

Would've liked to see RVP there, but the other forwards stand no chance against C. Ronaldo and Messi in terms of popularity.
