But Messi was doing it at 21-22. Therefore because he was younger he is the bigger prospect and is better.

When Messi was 21 or 22, he was a better player, that's true. He probably still is, but it's not nearly as far apart as you guys make it out to be especially not in this calendar year.
 
Messi
Ronaldo
Bale/Iniesta/Suarez/Falcao etc
The rest.


Bale could easily move up soon, but wait until he does it more often. Right now, he isn't on Ronaldo's level.

Ronaldo scored 2 earlier, no big deal. If Bale scored 2 tomorrow, you'd hear about it much more.
 
Also, why has CR7 stopped doing his crazy ball skills to beat opponents? It seems he uses his pace now more than anything to get past players.

It was all about this during his debut season. Is it because he's gone bigger that he's no longer as light footed?

Ronaldo's basically a pure finisher at this point, he doesn't spend much time on the ball.

He has moved forward.

Messi has too but he doesnt stop doing his wizard shit.

That is the difference between the 2. Messi keeps adding more to his game. ronaldo is losing.

Bale is young so he has time to add more. But he must be in a aaa team. Spurs sucks

Fuck. We were good then. These four were better than the Invincible midfield imo. I truly believe had we kept that midfield together we'd have won the league by now.

I disagree, Sure Ronaldo lost/does not do most of the tricks any more but that is because he changed into a different much more powerful player. Bale is kind of like that. Given the right position with the ball any team is fucked. I don't think Ronaldo has gotten any worse, infact I think he has gotten a lot better. This year in particular he has picked up his game considerably. He is also stupidly fast.

Ronaldo might revert back to his previous style of playing once he gets older and starts losing the speed he has. But he is such a beast and takes such care his body (no drinking or smoking for example) that I feel like I'll he'll keep his athleticism longer than a lot of players. We'll see.
 

No doubt, I didn't want to put everyone there. Would be a pretty long list.


Iniesta is better than Bale

I agree but that section I made is for people worse than Ronaldo but better than the rest.

Pretty true. He gets the ball less than he used to and his job is more to wait for it, rather than move and get it to find his way through. Still, he has improved from then even though he changed his style.
 
I still think Ronaldo could do a lot of that stuff. That's one of the reason's why I'd like to see him come back to United. SAF always involved him more in the general play. Mourinho uses him purely as a finisher.

Somehow I've completely convinced myself that he's going to be back at United next year. I feel delusional as hell though but it's fun. I just love the idea too much.

Ferguson put him in the lab and turned him into a power striker basically. He mostly just outruns, blasts, and finishes these days.

His ball control and dribbling skills were sacrificed.
 
I still can't believe that guy is claiming Bale to be better than Messi and Christiano, clearly he's good and likely to get better but as of now he is decidedly below those two his recent run of form is making people overrate him too much.
 
Also, the Klopp hate is ridiculous. I love the way he acts on the pitch. He said he doesn't want his players to complain and he does it instead. That's perfectly fine for me, rather see a coach yelling at the ref than 10 players sourrounding the ref after every decision against them.
Yup, I don't mind his attitude on the pitch and during press conferences at all. What bothered me a bit this season was his reaction after the loss in the DFB Pokal which he probably could / should have handled better, as well as his handling of the 12:12 protests which felt rude to me.

In the end though, I definitely prefer a coach who voices his opinions over someone who gives the media nothing but the answers they expect and shows no emotions on the pitch at all.

Pochettino is shaping up nicely, lol.

Top 4, lmao.

He is definitely dumb enough to be a friend of Ballague.
 
Happy birthday to:
Pulga
Del Piero's daughter
Giaccherini
Asamoah's lil boy

We better win tonight! This is too perfect.

Just like this year Juve's Scudetto
More relevant than whatever Madrid is going to win this season.
 
Oh, please, god, NO;

"Peter Crouch is being lined up for a move to West Ham, writes the Sunday People.

And Stoke City have already started to plan for life without the big striker – by plotting a surprise swoop for Arsenal’s Nicklas Bendtner.

The former QPR and Spurs striker is keen to head south again and believes a switch to Upton Park is the perfect option.

West Ham are still trying to seal a deal for Liverpool’s Andy Carroll, but have spent the past month looking at other options.Hammers boss Sam Allardyce believes the former England hitman would bring vital experience to his side."

I would frankly prefer to stick with Carlton fucking Cole than see the gangly cunt Crouch flailing around ineffectively up front for us.
 
Peter Kenyon (ex Chelsea big wig) was just on BBC 5 Live.

Said all managerial appointments were a joint decision between him and Roman. (:lol)

He also said what happened between Mourinho and Roman in 2007 is far from being irreparable.
 
Miccoli_juventus-shirt.jpg


Miccoli before he shaved his eyebrows and looked like a criminal.

One point. We can do this!
Start Bendtner and Anelka
.
Oh how I love that shirt <3

We can, but not with Nicky A and Nicky B. :p

Conte is making a point by not using Marry's last minute signings, maybe.
 
NB17 will be too busy with Brøndby - Copenhagen, the championship he cares about.

(I think if Bendtner is ever going to get his first Juve goal it's today lol)

Probably not. More like deep cover for CL and Serie A in case of injuries to Vuc, Matri, or Quag. Just so happens that the only person to get injured was Bendtner, hence Anelka.
 
Tancredi Palmeri is such a troll, I can't believe he pretends to be objective.

Tancredi Palmeri &#8207;@tancredipalmeri 1h
Direction Turin for Juventus-Palermo. Trumpets ready today for the Scudetto achievement, 1 point is enough to celebrate the 29th title

TANCREDI CORNUTO PIENA DI MERDA

As Marchisio said the other day when HE was linked with United, it would be silly to leave Juventus now when they're winning and on the way up (United won the league, but are on the way down in Europe, I reckon).

Keyword want. As if Juve would sell.
