Which Star Player Would YOU Choose?
All across the football world, be it in the floodlit stadiums of the English Premier League or the dusty streets of Brazil, good players are there to be found. Whether it’s the fancy footwork of Cristiano Ronaldo; the pace and vision of Cesc Fabregas or the flair of Kaka, there have always been plenty of good players- and then there are those who are even better.
Every fan craves the elite players of the game; if you offered the fans any team in the world Kaka, the majority of them would say yes, while those that don’t are lying. Talking about that unlikely scenario, if you had the option of having any player in the world pulling on your club’s strip, who would you choose?
To try and start this off with something different, I’ll not go with the choice of Kaka as many of my fellow Gooners would, I’m sure; rather, I’d go for the wing wizardry of Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo. Despite Cristiano Ronaldo being known as a diving little cheat player who’s antics are questionable at times, I feel that the Portuguese player would add an extra element to our team- even more so than Kaka, or Leo Messi for that matter.
Kaka is a phenomenal player; he has the ability to drive a team forward on his own, and get a few goals to boot. However, the Gunners have enough players in the position that the Brazilian occupies; Rosicky, Fabregas and Hleb are all capable of playing there well, and an the dynamism Ronaldo would provide on the wings would turn this Arsenal side from playing excellent to unbeatable.
I have long called for Wenger to buy a winger; too often have we failed to use the width provided on the slightly larger Emirates Stadium pitch, while last season Arsenal fans were frustrated to the point of wanting to break something as Rosicky and Hleb continued to cut in and run into walls. Someone that can move the ball at pace, or a proper, ‘out and out’ winger as they’re known as these days would be excellent for the Arsenal; and as much as I hate to say it, Ronaldo is the best kind of this player in the football world today. Wenger has tried to create this kind of player by moving Eboue up to right wing; sadly I feel that a natural is needed, as well as one that can bang them in for fun. Do you think Ronaldo would do well in the red and white, as unlikely a prospect as that seems?
Now that I’ve done it for Arsenal; let me have a short go at other teams- Manchester United would do well with Dimitar Berbatov, simply because they need someone better than Saha capable of playing alone up front; Chelsea would not go amiss if the talents of Kaka were added to their midfield; Liverpool would thrive with Robin van Persie playing off Fernando Torres up front. Who do you think who improve your team best if you were given the option of signing any player in the football world? Let me know below. 
Note that this is purely fantasy; I’m not saying that you should take this article seriously, or that I would not be slightly (heck, loads) disgusted were Cristiano Ronaldo to be linked to the Arsenal.
So all of you that enjoy the daily mill of impossible, never to happen transfer rumours… get debating

Lionel Messi. He may not be a true winger but i think this guy could play in any advance position you give him.
November 4th, 2007 @ 20:07Not Berba. I’d get Ruud back, just for footballing abilities.
Barring that, Drogba would be a better fit than Berbatov.
United could use Fabregas as well, but not Gerrard.
November 4th, 2007 @ 20:28Second for Messi. Because Jesus.
November 4th, 2007 @ 20:38i dont care if this is fantasy ahmed Gerrard still wouldnt be a united player
this is though i guess id want to improve our worst position (the wings) so id go for Quaresma
November 4th, 2007 @ 21:49I would love to have Ribery or Malouda in the Arsenal team
November 4th, 2007 @ 22:03Im an Arsenal fan and I would have Cesc Fabregas (the best player in the World)and all the Arsenal players. But from other teams I would have Kaka for his speed and power, and C Ronaldo for his skill and speed on the ball and I would have Messi
November 4th, 2007 @ 22:06slightly larger pitch? u should go through this
http://soccerlens.com/premier-league-pitch-sizes/3683/
anyways, being an ultra biased united fan, i don’t see anyone we need right now… but probably someone to replace scholes in the long run… fabregas would definitely be first choice
November 4th, 2007 @ 22:16Just like Gerrard almost showed his loyalty to the scouse by signing with Chelsea after the Champiosn League 2005…
Anyway, hmm, good question. I think the CFC lineup is pretty solid, but I would want some more striking depth, so I think I would take Wayne Rooney. A bitchy whiny cunt in my opinion; however, I can’t deny the guy is on fire, and he would be a perfect fit with Drogba up top as a target man, and Rooney making runs and powering home goals.
November 4th, 2007 @ 23:00Looking a Man Utd…defo Philip Lahm and Daniel Alves.
November 4th, 2007 @ 23:20he put in a transfer request dumbo. if he had have signed for chelsea he would have bee playing agaisnt wigan yesterday u stupid arse
Fabragaes best player in the world huh it was only a matter of time b4 arsenal fans started saying that. He is a great player but only 3 or 4 of his goals r individual brillance most of them is because of his team.
Take his goal agaisnt man u and liverpool both were created by his team he would have to be spasticated to miss those chances.
November 4th, 2007 @ 23:44I would like to have Cech from Chelsea,Liverpool’s SG and Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas. COULD I? Anyway if I would like one player it would be STEVIEEEE! I am a Mancheter Utd fan…Am I?
November 5th, 2007 @ 01:01Theres no doubting that Messi is the man i’d pick, him and ronaldo on the wings would be pretty hard to stop, and he barely ever goes missing in big games, unlike Ronnie, wouldn’t mind Kaka but im sure we all know that in about 2 years Anderson will be better than him;) and Fab too;)
November 5th, 2007 @ 01:36Messi and Quaresma on the wings for Liverpool. Dani Alves at the back with Carra. And Berbatov up front. beautiful…
November 5th, 2007 @ 01:45Micah Richars or Ruud for Man Utd.
Fabregas would be pointless since we got Carrick and Anderson.
November 5th, 2007 @ 01:46Anderson better than kaka ? wtf r u smoking i hope thats a joke
November 5th, 2007 @ 02:10The shame to me of having to say that Cesc would definately be my first choice for United.
November 5th, 2007 @ 03:00Liverpool_Fan
November 5th, 2007 @ 03:02have you seen Anderson, he is already at Fabregas’ standards of last year IMO
but seriously have you seen kaka?
November 5th, 2007 @ 03:11how many players do Pool need? 5?
hmmm…
November 5th, 2007 @ 04:04I dunno why everyone’s always wanting better strikers or wingers, I’m a Juve fan and I know that at least for this season we’re covered in those areas, the one place I think we do need to invest is at right back. The ideal right back for Juventus would have to be in the same build as Lilian Thuram, because that’s the type of player we need back there, so I’d have to go with Micah Richards of Manchester City
November 5th, 2007 @ 07:37Anderson sucks; all he did at the Emirtes was whine. But he could be good in a couple years, but nowhere near Cesc.
Liverpool could use, IMO a stand up defender or striker. I would say Rooney or Drogba would help them most on the offensive end, and defensively, a John Terry, P. Lahm or Micah Richards would be invaluable.
What do you ‘Pool fans think?
November 5th, 2007 @ 10:49Kaka, Ribery, Leo Messi for the Gunners.
November 5th, 2007 @ 12:11i think cristiano, messi, mertesacker and ribery should go to arsenal… kaka and rooney would be great in chelsea… for man utd i think drogba and quaresma should be there.. for liverpool it should be thuram…. they need a good defender… and also van persie would be great there…
November 5th, 2007 @ 12:16naw i think we have the right strikers but they dont know each other well enough. id prefer a winger.
November 5th, 2007 @ 13:25I’m going for Ibrahimovic.. Even though I love Beckham alot.. Ibrahimovic is quite young and has world class talent in his dribbling.He is always my topscorer in my FIFA 08..
November 5th, 2007 @ 15:14COME ON FERGUSON!!! SELL SAHA AND BUY IBRAHIMOVIC!!
November 5th, 2007 @ 15:16United need a bit more depth in the striking department, and I’m a fan of Berbatov. If I could choose anyone in the world to add to that squad it’d probably be Messi. I think he’s an awesome player.
November 5th, 2007 @ 15:41Haha yeah it was a joke but it’ll be truw in about a year or two, he doesn’t look like much of a scorer though…hes a better version of Fabregas i’d say, not as good as him but he’ll be better than him since he can dribble very well, Brian, Anderson was probably our best player against Arsenal, and I don’t remember seeing many Arsenal players playing that well…
November 5th, 2007 @ 16:46Being a Gooner I was disappointed we couldn’t sign Ribery in the summer because I think he would have been a great asset to our side. However, I would like to Micah Richards and SWP from Chelsea sign for us. They link up so well together on the right when they play for England and we could do with some players with alot of pace who can run at defenders at full speed, just like Henry and Overmars did! They’ve both been linked with Arsenal before and Richards did say recently in an interview he’d love to play for the Gunners.
Messi as well is world class already at such a young age and can only get better. He’d be a star in any team
November 5th, 2007 @ 17:07Micah Richards and SWP from Chelsea would do well for Arsenal. They link up so well on the right when they play for England and we could do with some extra pace in our squad (and some English players!)They have both been linked with us before and Richards recently said in an interview that he’d love to play for Arsenal.
I was disappointed in the summer when we didn’t get Ribery because he would have been a fantastic asset. However, would also love to see Messi at Arsenal. He’s so world class he’s only two letters short of being called Messiah!!
November 5th, 2007 @ 17:27Yeah I think another striker for Liverpool, someone who can compliment Torres and score goals too, but do we have that already in Peter Crouch?
November 5th, 2007 @ 21:01Conor
November 5th, 2007 @ 21:42Fabregas didn’t seem like much of a scorer last season and look at this season. It depends on confidence and Anderson seems to prefer to pass than to take on the shot and IMO the goals will come soon for him.
Probably Micah Richards or Dani Alves, Neville will need replacing very soon. I definitely wouldn’t say no to Fabregas because he’ll still be around in 8 years, unlike Carrick and Hargreaves. Another, maybe Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, we need a new super-sub and Huntelaar could be it.
November 5th, 2007 @ 22:15Forgot Cech
November 5th, 2007 @ 22:21nearly every midfielder would pass before shoot apart from Ronaldo, Messi and Lampard (i aint dissin them im just sayin they need to pass more)
November 6th, 2007 @ 03:03definately drogba for utd, maybe richards to replace g neville
how about any half decnt striker for liverpool to play with torres. James Beattie getting is getting goals, he can improve them!
November 6th, 2007 @ 05:48AK jame beattie aint a dream player for Liverpool a dream player will be from the top 25 list not the top 250000 list
November 7th, 2007 @ 00:08David Trezeguet ! no doubt the best penalty area striker in the world ! and..Lampard or Gerrard !
November 7th, 2007 @ 22:07u kiddin me
Gerrard has missed like 4-5 penalties in his career (which may not sound like alot but it is) even he admits he is dang at penalties!!
November 8th, 2007 @ 01:38Khwezi Sifunda why didnt u just write your own article
November 9th, 2007 @ 21:21henry is killing barcelona, i say henry to man utd and c.ronaldo to barcelona
November 12th, 2007 @ 23:23why not add a defender, im a man utd fan and i dont know as much about football as u guys but i think if united could add one player, it should be sergio ramos
i think he would combine great up the right wing with ronny and he could fill in well at central defence should vidic or ferdinand be injured
December 12th, 2007 @ 11:324 ManUnited:
Before November, I would have said without hesitation:
Fabregas.
Now, my pick would be that idiotic cunt called Drogba.
December 12th, 2007 @ 13:58He might be arrogant and stupid, but he is one hell of a striker. (Problem is, I doubt he will want to sit on the bench?!?).
2nd choice will be Henry.
