best player in world

Id say Ronaldo, Juve claim to be a better side after ZZ left and won the title 2 seasons running after Madrid signed him....

Olisadebe???

Zidane or Ronaldo for me. Well, an on form fully fit Ronaldo anyway. The one I think we will see playing consistently well for Real Madrid next season

Your sig is too big matey, needs to be no more than 560 pixels wide.

Back on topic, my vote goes for Zidane, without question. The man has almost God-like control and ability, and he never seems troubled when he has the ball, as if he just knows there is no-one around better than he is. In a few years they'll be talking about him in the same breath as Pele and Maradona I reckon.

Ummm, no he couldn't.

Who exactly would he replace in the Real side? Figo? No. Raul? No. Zidane? No way. Whichever defensive midfielder they're playing at the time? No.

Aimar is pretty good, but not that good. Certainly not to challenge ZZ for the world's best footballer crown!

Certainly not Zidane and Raul, but Figo and any of their DM's pale in comparison to Aimar. Figo got nutmegged by John O'Shea ffs!

Figo is an attacking midfielder, and I think he will have doubted O'Shea's ability on the ball considering he is Irish and a defender!!

Figo is one over rated player imo. He can do some good stuff but so could Matt Le Tissier and he never went for nothing let alone £37m.

Johnny O'Shea nutmegs everyone ffs. He is class

Are my eyes deceiving me or did you really actually say that!! :eek:

He is still absolutely awesome. Such a good player on the ball.

JAzz · 6 May 2003 at 13:14

well he is good but so inconsistant now, being good is one thing but its being consistant that makes u a really good player

He is alright but he aint no chris marsden

goph · 6 May 2003 at 13:14

a fully fit Ronaldo is simply an amazing player

but its hard to compare players from different posistions and Zidane also posses some great skills

But who is, really!!

Sadly he might be missing for the FA Cup final after injuring his knee against Bolton. I will be heartbroken for him if he does miss it as he probably won't get another chance like this and he is one player in particular who deserves to play as he has been fantastic on a regular basis for us this season

JAzz · 6 May 2003 at 13:27

he wont play :eek:

im devestated i really am

Yes this is the best team in the world! On the attack Real would make any defense crumble, even with 11 men behind the ball they still pass there way through!

I would like to see Real sign two new defenders, Hierro needs to be replaced & Helguera isnt really a defender

There defeats have been before Champions League games, which explains a lot

i hear it was Ronaldo or Zidane?

any say otherwise?

I dont think there is such a thing! You could have whos the best player in the world in each position... for example my 3 favs are...

Ronaldo - Best Striker
Zidane - Best Central Midfileder
Figo - Best Right Winger

There all as good as each other in there positions, I wouldnt say one was a lot better than the other, because they all play as good as each other in doing there role for the team

I am! I support Real in Europe when Barca are out etc

I could make a lot of suggestions on what Barca should do, may include scrapping half the team and habing a good clear out, bring some world class players, hoping we will sign Ronaldinho

Are defense is just as bad, Should just Keep Puyol & get some decent defenders in

credit to u dude, i could never support my teams rivals in europe, probably coz spurs are never in europe hahahahahaahaha

Yeah barca need to sort out their defense, also kluivert has to be more consistant than he is now
