Giggs is the quintessential winger. Pires wasn't better, Giggs was faster, better at dribbling and better at crossing, surely that ends the debate? Pires wasn't better than Ronaldo either.

And the opinion that Vieira is the best midfielder of all time is more than a slight exaggeration mate, come on, Zidane? If Arsenal had all these players that were superior to Man. United's, why have they only won three PL league titles whereas United have won 12?

Bergkamp was better than Cantona I agree on that, what I meant was as strikers there have been better than both but you already commented on that so, cool.
