Picking Zola is an absolute joke.
The bloke sat on Chelsea's bench for 18 months behind Gudjohnson and Hasselbaink. He was a decent player but how can you be in the top 10 of the last 15 years if you were sat on the bench so much? There was no massive outcry from Chelsea fans or the media. Can you imagine Cantona, Henry or Gerrard sat on the bench for 18 months. It wasn't at the end of his career either, he actually got his place back later. |

Nope.
I am saying he had two good seasons 97-98 and 98-99. By the next season he was on the bench and spent a lot of time there from 2000-2002 until his last season where he played more and had a good season. That to me doesn't get him near a top ten. He may be one of the top 10 talents to play in the premiership but he contributed a lot less to it than the likes of cantona, bergkamp, henry, shearer, vieira, keane, schmiechel etc. Scholes has done it at the top for 12 years, zola did a couple of years at the arse end of his career. Just my opinion but I believe his contribution to the premiership is vastly overrated. |

Probably wouldn't get into my top ten, but I can understand why people would include him. |

Robert Pires scored as much from midfield and won more trophies than Lampard has thus far. I like Lampard as a player - he's really the only Chelsea player who has earned his money this season- but wouldn't have him in or even terribly close to the top 10 of Premiership players.
