Clue's in the title. Who are your favourite non-spurs Premier League players?
I am a huge fan of Carlos Tevez for the dedication and work-rate that I would love to see exhibited in Lillywhite colours, that's not to mention his brilliant skill on the ball.

Jimmy Bullard for being a straight-up comedy hero and a good, proper English footballer to boot.

Andrei Arshavin - I study Russian and have always wanted him at Spurs. Has a bit of a sense of humour and a little wizard. As much as I love Robbie, surely having Arsha play off Pav in a 4-4-2 would have been the sex? Here's an interview in which at approx 3:40 he pretty much admits he was on his way to spurs.

Joe Cole. A match winner with a winning attitude and would slot straight in to our team.

Always used to be Gianfranco Zola.

Now Carrick is probably my favourite, but Joe Cole, Tevez, Alonso and Bullard are also very good shouts.

A couple who haven't been mentioned that I also really like are Hangeland and Carew, not just for being Norwegian, as I'm not too fond of Pedersen, but also for being very good players.

Probably Carrick, he was my favourite player when he was here and I still like him.

Aprt from him, probably Gerrard, Jaaskelainen (apparently I look like him, so hes cool), Jagielka and Owen.

Oh and Eboue

Giggs, Scholes and G.Neville. Great servants to their club, Reds through and through (I know Scholes is a Oldham fan and still goes with his son but you get me drift). The like never to be seen again in a life time maybe.

To think Lump-of-lard and Gerrard were played in centre midfield ahead of Scholes is laughable to say the least!

Just about all the Man United team as they're so watchable in an entertaining way (especially Ronaldo)

Fellaini, to me he really stands out, and I don't think it's just his hair.

Giovanni, when he has the ball expectations rise, pretty much in the same way it does with Ronaldo.

Dempsey, one of the hardest workers both on and off the ball. I think most people underrate him and what he brings to Fulham.

Tim Cahill, without him in the side Everton are a completely different team, and he often pops up with the great goals.

Crouch, I wouldn't want him at Tottenham, but watching some of the lanky moves he does is entertaining. He seems honest and hardworking.

RVP, his talent is undeniable. I just wish he was at a different club.

Some of the others already mentioned such as Bullard are in my list of favourites too. Honourable mentions for Valencia, Lampard, Ireland & Lescott

I wouldn't say he's my favourite non-Spurs player, but Ronaldo is definitely my favourite non-Spurs player to watch. Whether it's good or bad, there's always something going on concerning him when he's playing. Actually, to be honest, it's probably most United players.

Playing now or of memory?

Playing now:

David James - fair bloke
Christiano Ronaldo - he may be a diving, cheating lady-boy, but he can't half play football
Jimmy Bullard - If he smiles, i smile for some reason. He loves his football.
Michael Carrick - keeps his head down, gets on with his game.
Steed Malbranque - same reason.
Robbo - Give us a wave! And for punching old Chirpy on the beak so hard once, it spun all the way around :up:
Joe Cole - Aggressive, fast, technically fantastic. Real game winner who does exactly whats asked of him.
Nemanja Vidic - i dunno if i even spelt that right. The kid's incredible.


Past:

Gianfranco Zola
- amazing to watch, the absolute complete footballer.
Neville Southall - the big sack of Welsh potatoes who was possibly the greatest keeper in the world at one point.
Teddy Sheringham - how could you not? The consumate pro.
Bruce Grobbelaar - he had wobbly legs and i was 8, it was the funniest thing i'd seen in my short life at that point, what do you want? :lol:

All fantastic footballers in their own right.
