Pires was a phenomenal footballer in England. I wouldn't like to choose between them.
[/quote]Id have Pires in those two years when he was unplayable.

exactly oncy. as good as giggs has been in his 10 years (or however he long he has played) he has never been THAT good.

The comments about him looking after himself and leading a healthy lifestyle are no doubt right, but he still looks about twenty years older than he is!

Heh, agree with Oncy, he was immense for two years and his combination and switching of positions with Henry was amazing.

Giggs was probably equally good is his younger days against probably worse defenders, but it's Pires that sticks in my mind. A young(er) Pires would be perfect for us right now - although I think he's already at Arsenal in the name of Arshavin.
