Oh, I thought he had already retired years ago.

 

Please this is a tribute thread ffs

 

simply his days at barca won`t be forgotten ever as to the 1st 2 or 3 seasons with RM.. nothing special with inter milan.

 

figo > zidane

 

Thats what he will be remembered by. At least by me.

And the great strike against England at the EC2000.

 

quoting this for this page too

 

Still bitter, huh?

There are 4 things you need to know:

1) Figo is not Catalan therefore there was no obligation due to his heritage to play for Barça his entire carrer
2) Figo wanted to stay in Barcelona but the club was so cheap and didn't make the slightest attempt to even come close to Madrid's bid.
3) There have been a number of players that have switched form Barça to Real Madrid or vice versa in the past and this will continue to happen in the future.
4) I am a fan of FC Porto and although they are a half decent team, they are far from being a super club. Every year I see our best players leaving for either a bigger club or one who's willing to pay more money. It makes me sad but there is really nothing us fans can do about it. This is the way things are in football, as well as others sports. So get used to it and stop whinning about loosing players to other clubs.

In conclusion, it was Barça's fault he left.

Now responding to the thread topic, in my opinion, Figo is Portugal's best player of all time. Some would say Eusébio, others C. Ronaldo or Rui Costa, I say it is Figo. I guess everyone has their opinion.

He was missed the second he retired from the Portuguese NT due to his skills, tactical awareness, leadership on and off the field. The team went to shambles the minute he left. You don't replace someone like him easily...

Bravo Figo.

 

this is embarrassing from barca fans

 

Very embarrassing, seriously get a hold on yourselves, its pathetic. Leaving one thread be is easily doable.

 

Relax both of you, its a bit of banter. Besides, as already mentioned he always left through the back door. Everyone knows hes one of the best of his generation, but you gotta love the contrasts right now: Luis Loyalty Figo and Paolo Moneygrabber Maldini
And I can imagine what some of the Italian fans will think of Nedveds retirement btw p

roud: bout time

 

 

Good player but never reached the apex Cristiano Ronaldo reached last year or Messi this year. Lacked a bit of scoring ability as well to be a true great winger.

do you rate zidane? he never scored much or have many assists.

 

We just won the double, genuis. Yeah, bitter. ****ing fanboys.:rollani:

He scored a goal for us against Madrid in 97-98 I think, in a 3-0 win. A deflected cross landed at his feet. He shimmied a bit, then had Roberto Carlos on toast before screaming a magnificent drive across the keeper into the net just inside the post. That is my prominent memory of Figo. The moment that defined what a magnificent player he was.

 

Why the fvck should players be loyal to a club? Fans only love them because they play good, if they start to suck they want you out

 

For the shield, mate. Blood, sweat and tears.

 

Can we please have those posts from DEportivo and Koeman4 deleted? There is absolutely no need for this in a frigging tribute thread.

 

I would have to agree. Sour grapes.

 

Exactly

 

DEportivo, this is disgusting...

Legend... :star:

 

Yes Josh... Figo Is GOD :thumbsup:

roud:

 

The Barcelona fans here are seriously the biggest bunch of wankers you'll ever see. Internet heroes, the lot of them. Thread says tribute to Luis Figo, and we see a bunch of heroes coming in and thinking they're going to "look cool" or "get more respect" if they insult Figo because that apparently that makes them "more of a cule". No that makes you more of an idiot.

Lets all hope he breaks his legs, ffs. What the **** is wrong with people.

Absolutely no respect, if the aftermath to the Chelsea match wasn't proof enough of what they were, this definitely is. Total heroes.

 

Barcelona fans should stay the hell out of the thread if they don't want to pay Figo respect.

 

Just close this thread before there are riots :howler:

 

K4, why do you not stop after being asked to? Be sensible, JA, don't be this type of idiot.

 

Come on, Josh, I'm sensible... it's just a bit of humour... after all he will also be remembered by this, isn't it?

It's not that Real Madrid and Figo end up with love with each other... it's strange that the madridistas don't show up to insult him too.

In fact, was he loved anywhere?

 

:howler:The Cules are really embarassing themselves here. You know you suck when no one needs to put you into your place and you still look like a complete idiot(s).

I think thats crossing the line a bit...

He was a great player, one of the outstanding ones of his generation but he had his fair share of vices. And the way he left both Barca and Real, through the backdoor will be a part of his legacy. Like his legacy will be forever tied with the way he parted from Barca and signed for Real.

No one will remember him for the way he left. Just like Zidane will be remembered as a legend and not a headbutter. The only people who will have bad memories of him are Cules.. And let's be honest, no one takes you seriously and that's evident in this thread.

.. Oh wait. 'The Green One' stuck up for you. :thumbsup: You must feel special.

Come on, Josh, I'm sensible... it's just a bit of humour... after all he will also be remembered by this, isn't it?

Oh... If you can quote someone in this thread who is not an idiotic clue who finds this funny, then I will give you an 'E' for effort for your humour. But you can't do that, so you get an 'F'.

And your opinions are worthless in every thread so perhaps you should STFU.

:howler:

Do I know you?

 

Tribute to a traitor.

What's next, Quisling monument?

 

The more the love... the more the hate.

Cant see a Gudjohnsen or a Thiago Motta going across would have sucn an effect

Figo knew such hatred would be there.. he did it anyway. He doesnt care (why should ppl on XT), as his Self Interest / Desire comes first to him.

let them be
