5.George Best
6.Johan Cryuff

[Jaymo]

as much as they where all legends in their day. That was back then, and im pretty sure the standards of football players has increased. No doubt they would have shone, but in the modern game, i dont think they would of as much.

[magicalbarnes]

Assuming they were al 22 years of age:

1.Kenny Dalglish £60m
2.Pele £100m
3.Ian Rush £40m
4.Maradona £100m
5.George Best £60m
6.Johan Cryuff £60m
7.Beckenbauer £50m
8.Platini £55m
9.Eusebio (i dont know enough about him to comment)
10.John Barnes £40m

[Rich]

1.Kenny Dalglish free
2.Pele free
3.Ian Rush free
4.Maradona free
5.George Best free
6.Johan Cryuff free
7.Beckenbauer free
8.Platini free
9.Eusebio free
10.John Barnes free

Reasoning: I'm assuming they're all out of contract in the summer and are over the age of 24.

It is certainly a valid point. I'm not sure though - I think the likes of Ronaldo, Kaka, Messi, Gerrard and Torres have shown how much players can stand out amongst their peers even now. I think the difference is that there is an exoticism to football from the past that can't be created now. I think the players with the right attitudes like Pele would have thrived in current football and be in the same bracket as the current players I mentioned or above them. Seeing as City offered £100m for Kaka god knows what the values would be.

[Tee]

1.Kenny Dalglish £70m
2.Pele £125m
3.Ian Rush £75m
4.Maradona £150m (and trust me, Citeh would pay that)
5.George Best £100m
6.Johan Cruyff £59m
7.Beckenbauer £60m
8.Platini £15m - over rated streak of paralysed piss
9.Eusebio £70m
10.John Barnes £60m

[wiw]

Surely Barnes would be up near the top. Every top team in the world would kill for a Barnes

[Maxiedge]

1.Kenny Dalglish 40m
2.Pele 50m
3.Ian Rush 27m
4.Maradona 100m
5.George Best 40m
6.Johan Cryuff 20m
7.Beckenbauer 28m
8.Platini 20m
9.Eusebio 25m
10.John Barnes 30m

Depended who owned each player and who was bidding.

Everyone of them could possibly go for £100m in todays market. In terms of Maradona and Pele, well forget about it. To many zeroes.

if city were bidding and all the plyers were in contract you could have the first team costing a billion !!!

Everybody seems to underestimate just how good George Best was in his day and in my opinion overestimate Maradona

Don't agree, Maradona is a class of his own more or less despite what the English think.
