Best dribbler? It's a toss of a coin between 3 of them.
Messi.
Maradona.
Mailbu man.

I would add Neymar. I didn’t even realise it was a list of lefties.I wonder who would be considered the best primarily right footed dribbler of all time, guys like Ronaldinho, Zidane from the modern era though very different styles than the lefties. George Best of course but he was so 2 footed it would almost be an insulting question to him.
I genuinely forgot this was mine.
I can see what you mean. Nani was exciting at times and did seem capable of magic at times with his quick feet.I reckon Nani is a better close dribbler than Giggs. I should clarify that close dribbler was probably the wrong choice, I mean from a standing start one on one, rather than dribbling at speed whilst flying down the wing. I think Giggs and Ronaldo have him beat on that, but put pretty much any defender against nani in the corner, both at a stop, his feet were ridiculously quick.
Messi is heads and shoulders above giggs. Especially both in their dribbling prime. And Giggs is my favourite ever player.Robben
Maradona
Messi
Ben Arfa
Giggs
No particular order as I couldn’t decided. Hands down say I don’t think Messi is the best though.
I didn’t say he wasn’t… I just gave a list of my 5 favourite.Messi is heads and shoulders above giggs. Especially both in their dribbling prime. And Giggs is my favourite ever player.
Yep, that would be a fair distinction, peak Nani was outstanding from a standing start, quick feet, agility and surprising upper body strength.I reckon Nani is a better close dribbler than Giggs.

Flashy dribblers get overrated.Is there a slight chance that Ronaldinho is getting over rated?
He was obviously a joy to watch but I certainly remember him losing the ball a lot of times, could be frustrating even.
Definitely the most eye pleasing of the modern group of players however.
Was indeed a fantastic dribblerSurely Iniesta is right up there as well.
Definitely one of the best, not overly reliant on pace either. Feints and trickery.Surely Iniesta is right up there as well.
if he had more pace, I think he'd have a claim to be the best. I think technically he's right up there with Messi (dribbling wise), but the latter had explosive pace to burn as well.Definitely one of the best, not overly reliant on pace either. Feints and trickery.
Good shout. His goal v Uruguay in Mexico 86 was a great example of his dribbling ability.Not the best ever, but Michael Laudrup was pure silk. He was a bit before my time but I remember watching a YouTube highlights vid of his and was blown away by just how good he was! He's got to be one of the most underrated or slept on players. I never hear anyone mention him.
Such threads are so stupid. As if it's possible to compare players across generations.
Fantastic player. Scored a great dribble goal for Denmark in the 86 World Cup.Not the best ever, but Michael Laudrup was pure silk.
