Fowler, he was a more complete player, although I don't think he should have moved to Leeds in 2001, should have stayed at Liverpool to further his career.
Xavi. Every team Xavi plays for immediately adopts his "pass it to me, and leave the rest to me" style. Messi will undoubtedly be dangerous, and Iniesta will take control of the game, but Xavi by far overpowers both of them.

Yaya toure because he is much more versatile and talented than Kolo. His physical presence and technique allows him to play in any third of the field with ease and efficiency.

I will take this one too because I have seen them both in La Liga. Zigic is a typical tall striker (strong and good in the air); however Llorente brings so much more to the table. For a tall guy, his ball control and footwork is impressive.
Fabio Contreao vs Gareth Bale (battle of the most promising LWB's of the future)
It seems like every time Bojan comes on I tell whoever I'm watching the game with that he is awesome. And then he will do nothing, making me look foolish.
This is a really tough one. Berbatov is ridiculously good technically, but so is Ibra. They both have scored a fair amount of absolutely cracking goals. I'm going to favor Ibra because of what he can do in the air.
Cole, h e is more consistent, physically stronger, and uses his body to good effect, at least better then bent does. Bent's form just doesn't last long so that's the main reason im going with carlton'
