Angelfrost:
Messi and Bale are largely the most versatile among footballers of this generation...

Messi is like a ghost.... One minute he is intercepting attack at the back, next minute he is bossing the midfield, then before you say Lionel, he is beating defenders to score a mind blowing goal... I fear that guy.

for my life I never see I'm type

Bale's story is indeed dramatic. Very surprising to see here that he started out as a defender.

How do you go from being a left back (no offence to left backs please!) to scoring 2 goals (one of them a "made for TV" overhead kick) in a Champion's league final - and only after being brought on as a sub?

When its your time and your turn to shine..

I think Marcello & Drogba should be in the list.

Keep quiet religious zealot

Dani alves,the only player to have played all positions...

I hate Bale, he’s the reason Hazard isn’t doing so well in Madrid

Bale is a jealous and envious soul, Buh how is he disturbing Hazard??

Topmaike007:
The list is incomplete without our papa ejima Mikel obi, he started as attacking midfielder but now a defensive midfielder all thanks to mourinho the destiny killer

How did Mourinho kill his destiny?? Shift jare... Na only Mikel be the player wey dem convert??

You know Wetin Sneijder, Pirlo, Seedorf etc, play for field and how many conversions??

ImmaculateJOE:
Add Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi.
Ronaldo started as a wingman, and is ending up a prolific striker.
Messi started as a frontman and is ending up a deep laying midfield.
Sergio Ramos started as a right back and is ending up as a centre back.
Giggs started as a wingman, ended as a midfielder.
The list is endless

your assertion about Messi and Giggs is wrong

EzekaUdenee:

Oga most of the position you mentioned can be easily converted

for example

a full back with speed can easily be converted to a winger
that's how mangers who play 3 man defense cope

likewise a strong attacking midfielder can be easily converted into a defensive midfielder
because it only takes strength to play in such position
moreover a good striker can easily play in wing positions
only a lazy striker can't play as a winger
strikers like aguero, suarez, firmino, jesus can play from the wing.

talk about those that where entirely converted from their position
for example Pep converted Aleksandro zinchenko from attacking midfielder to a full back

Tell that to the Pogba fan boys who insist he can only perform on the left of a 3-man midfield like he did at Juventus.

John Mikel Obi
Started as Attacking Midfielder
Ending as Defensive Midfielder

Checked86:
Barcelona coach is using Semedo as left back now and Barcelona actually bought Junior Firpo, likely Alba's replacement. How confused can a coach be?

No vex ooo...you be Barca fan?
junior firpo is injured.

Young and Valencia

oga no be wetin them dy talk jor. But i see Trent playing at midfield very soon. James Milner can play as winger, full back and midfield.

TriggerHappi:
Paolo Maldini started as a left back ended up as the greatest CB ever.

He still ended his career as LB

All those Ballboys are in the youth team nothing like Ballboys they were also youth players

Patrioticman007:
Bale the white monkey . Buy one get Four Champions League Trophies for Free. Hala Madrid.

This is bad of you, calling a fellow human being a monkey is bad.

spirul77:
bale was a good left back but assou ekotto was better in that position hence bale was pushed forward as a winger.

no Bale was converted because of his goal scoring Stat then and his eagerness to take on players

FloxySmart:
I hate Bale, he’s the reason Hazard isn’t doing so well in Madrid

See talk ...na him hole him leg not to dribble or score a goal

[quote author=k2money post=83076839]that could be true tho,bale was more deadly when going forward, assou ekotto was moving forward as well even Dani rose is another very good left back and there was a time three of them were in Tottenham at the same time

Luiz- DM to CB
Funniest conversion is Yobo- from striker to defender

lenghtinny:
Bale was outstanding as a left back in Tottenham but Madrid na another story....

From a defender to an excellent attacker even though injury no let hin career network clear at all

He was outstanding as a winger also at spurs. He once scored about 30 goals in a season. His form at spurs as a winger made Madrid buy him at then world's record price.

Joseph Tobi started as a Striker and ended up as a defender
Didier Drogba as a defender and ended up as a Striker
