Cahill, Fellaini, Zapata and Montolivi can only wish to shine his shoes imo and would kill for a career that is half that of Seedorfs.
Yeah like I said in my writeup for him, Seedorf has maybe the most impressive career resume of any active player and when he was at his best he was in a different league than all of those you mention and of course many excellent players yet to come (yup update today and until christmas all free time MUST be dedicated to more updates).
Like discussed earlier in the thread he was a late entry too which also affected his ranking. I had just seen too many poor games from in recent years to even include him but then had a change of mind after some good form from him this season where he reminded me how good he can still be.
Maybe that should have been a little higher ahead of at least
some of the players you mention, but I think a case like that can be made for several players ranked near each other. It's so close.
But much higher I don't think I'd rank him even if when he is playing great that his level is very high. It's when it's not that he can really look his age and imo like an outside top 200 player.
