5) Ashley Cole (Roma)
Still a world class left-back on his day, Ashley Cole could be a terrific signing for Italian side AS Roma, who snapped up the England veteran after he left Chelsea on a free. The 33-year-old may not have the same pace that made him such a threat up and down the pitch at his peak, but he has proven himself to be one of the finest full-backs of his generation with his intelligent defending and ability to get forward and aid the attack.
